Abstract
The device of the present invention converts the kinetic energy of compressed air into electrical energy by setting up (N+1)-level wind turbines with same diameter but different rated power and rated speed in a pipeline and passing the high-speed airflow through the multi-levels of the wind turbine to reduce the airflow speed. The device converts wind energy into electrical energy and mixes atomized water when the compressed air flows through the wind turbines to improve the power generation efficiency. The device is a pipeline power generation device and a dedicated compressed air turbine. The pipeline power generation device can be used by multiple devices in parallel connecting with each other to increase the total power of peak-shaving power. As the result, the cost of the peak shaving power is reduced.
