A New Methodology for Extraction of Wind Energy, Introducing and estimation of output power

In this paper, a new conceptual approach is introduced in order to extract wind energy, named as airfoil linear wind generator (ALWG). In this method, the linear reciprocating motion of a mover attached airfoils is converted to electricity using the magnetic field of a linear generator. Indeed, the idea of this method is inspired by the ocean wave energy extractor and the linear wind generator. The most important advantage of this approach in comparison with two mentioned methods is its simplicity and compatibility to all wind situations. Moreover, the average generative power based on the proposed conception approach is investigated under different conditions and compared to the output power of the ocean energy extractors.
