Single Sided Power Generator Support Frame

View page
US Patent:
7597532, Oct 6, 2009
Filed:
May 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/429268
Inventors:
John E. Gray - Burlington VT, US
Dean R. Corren - Burlington VT, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
F03B 13/12
US Classification:
415 42, 415906, 415907, 416244 R, 416DIG 6
Abstract:
A cantilevered power generation system and the support therefor comprising a clamping frame with first and second jaws that are relatively moveable and which permits the system to be mounted to a support located on or adjacent a shore line or water way so that power generation apparatus supported within the system can be positioned in the moving flow of water to generate power. The first and second jaws of the clamping frame support allows the power generation apparatus to be mounted adjacent a moving waterway and removed, as well as movable from one location to another and also allows the power generation apparatus to be raised thus permitting the repair and/or replacement of parts.

Non-Fouling Kinetic Hydro Power System Axial-Flow Blade Tip Treatment

View page
US Patent:
7789629, Sep 7, 2010
Filed:
Dec 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/634847
Inventors:
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power - Arlington VA
International Classification:
B64C 11/18
US Classification:
416223R, 416DIG 2
Abstract:
This relates to a modified turbine blade tip design using a fairing shaped design that increases the tip area efficiency of a kinetic hydropower turbine rotor blade while having a non-fouling characteristic and a tip design with the ability to shed weeds, debris, or other submerged materials that might have fouling potential.

Remanent Voltage Generator Tachometer And Control For Induction Machine

View page
US Patent:
7877170, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:
May 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/802614
Inventors:
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
Jamey Gerlaugh - Takoma Park MD, US
Douglas Lessig - Erie CO, US
Christopher Gray - Wheaton IL, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power - Arlington VA
International Classification:
G05D 17/00
H01F 27/42
H02P 9/10
US Classification:
700298, 307101
Abstract:
In a power generating system the remanent voltage of an induction machine is measured. The frequency of the remanent voltage is compared to a predetermined threshold. When the frequency of the remanent voltage is greater than the predetermined threshold the induction machine is connected to the power grid. Induction machine is disconnected from power grid once generated power drops below a predetermined threshold. Once the induction machine is disconnected, it is prevented from being reconnected to the power grid until a predetermined time period elapses.

Rotating Wedge Leveler

US Patent:
7891953, Feb 22, 2011
Filed:
Sep 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/514900
Inventors:
John Gray - Charlottesville VA, US
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
Christopher Gray - Wheaton IL, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power - Arlington VA
International Classification:
F03B 3/00
F03B 3/04
US Classification:
416246, 416142, 416244 R, 416DIG 6, 415 31, 415 43, 415 45, 2482192, 248393, 2481882, 52296, 525731
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for mounting underwater turbines that includes a mechanism for correcting tilt error, including both the amount and direction of error, associated with the installation of underwater turbines onto anchoring or mounting structures so that the yaw axis of the mounted turbines will be as close as possible to a desired angle, preferably vertical.

Cable Jacket Sealing, Pressurization, And Monitoring

View page
US Patent:
7973240, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Mar 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/727112
Inventors:
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
Douglas A. Lessig - Erie CO, US
Christopher Gray - Wheaton IL, US
John Gray - Charlottesville VA, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H01R 4/00
US Classification:
174 84R
Abstract:
An underwater power generating system includes an underwater power generating device, a closed nacelle and a connecting cable system that is provided with an open passage way extending there along that is sealed at one end to the interior of the closed nacelle. The cable system can be used in a number of ways, such as by having the second end being sealed, to prevent air from escaping the closed nacelle, or by having the second end connected to a source of positive pressure thereby permitting the cable to be sufficiently pressurized to provide a positive pressure internally within the closed nacelle that is at least slightly greater than the nacelle at depth pressure, and thus greater than water pressure acting on the exterior of the closed nacelle, to prevent water ingress within the nacelle, as well as to transmit power and/or other data between the nacelle and shore monitoring and control facilities.

Kinetic Hydro Power Triangular Blade Hub

View page
US Patent:
8147201, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Aug 10, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/889251
Inventors:
John Gray - Charlottesville VA, US
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
F01D 5/02
US Classification:
416204A, 416204 R, 416244 A
Abstract:
A rotor hub mounting arrangement for removably mounting a plurality of turbine rotor blades to the rotor hub in a compact and secure manner. The rotor hub includes an internal mounting assembly, preferably comprised of a series of interconnected mounting plates, positioned adjacent a series of foil shaped openings in the rotor hub into which the root end of turbine blades can be inserted and removably mounted to the internal mounting assembly.

Turbine Yaw Control

View page
US Patent:
8303241, Nov 6, 2012
Filed:
Nov 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/979999
Inventors:
Dean Corren - Burlington VT, US
John Gray - Charlottesville VA, US
Christopher Gray - Clarkston GA, US
Assignee:
Verdant Power, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
F03B 13/12
US Classification:
415 31, 415 43, 415906, 415908
Abstract:
A KHP system turbine for the production of energy in an underwater environment including a yaw stop arrangement for use in flowing steams where the flow direction of water therein is changeable, including bi-directional and multi-directional current flows, so that a rotatably mounted turbine remains in an optimal position within such changing flow conditions. The KHP turbine includes a rotational portion and one or two passive yaw stop assemblies that will control turbine yaw and keep the turbine oriented to capture energy from changeable underwater current flows.
