Wind turbines are harvesters of free and unlimited power converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electric energy by rotating about their either vertical (VAWT) or horizontal axis (HAWT). The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) newly developed by AUTOMATE promises a variety of innovative solutions towards clean power generation.
Overview
Integrating environmental solutions conforming the worldwide urge
Feeding the need for electricity in remote regions
Custom-made to suit the installation location wind regimes
Respecting wildlife that can avoid VAWTs better than they do with the traditional HAWT
Specifications
Up to 150 kW per unit installed
Smooth run in urban regions with turbulent wind profiles
Omnidirectional operation, independent from the wind direction
Operation at low wind speeds ranging from 0.8 m/s to 52 m/s
Reliability and simplicity of operation, completely automatic
Light and robust materials, resistant to climatic conditions
High efficiency due to its improved blades’ aerodynamic design
A modern and aesthetic design
Silent operation (< 36 dB)
An easy integration on already built structures
Ease of maintenance, upgrade or relocation
An improved mechanical brake design
Additional Optional Features
The possibility to directly tie it to the grid or feed into a battery storage system
An optimized Battery Management System reducing the power loss and extending the battery’s lifespan.
Remote monitoring through mobile phone or web-based controlling systems
