Abstract
A system for generating electrical power from wind energy includes a wind turbine; a generator configured to generate electrical energy in response to the rotation of the wind turbine; an inertial storage device configured to receive electrical energy from the generator and to store it as kinetic energy; and a continuously-variable transmission configured to be selectively coupled between the wind turbine and the generator, and between the wind turbine and the inertial storage device.
