New research from Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine design can be far more efficient than conventional turbines in large wind farms. Will wind farms now soon look different?
A significantly lower noise level and simpler logistics for transport, installation, operation and maintenance - all this makes it possible to use Agile Wind Power's vertical axis turbines for decentralised electricity production. Locations that cannot be served with existing technologies could finally be opened up. This is how manufacturer Agile Wind Power advertises its vertical turbines in the megawatt class.
Now the concept is getting support from research, as a team from the School of Engineering, ...
