Rotors
The Twin Turbine System consists of two turbines with three airfoils each. When arranged in connection with the guide plate the rotors will reach a high rotational speed thus producing high torque
Technical Section
The technical cabinet has a fail-safe system designed within it to meet the requirements of the IEC61400. This part houses the brakes, the yaw, the gearbox, the coupling, etc. This part bundles the turbines together with the generator.
Azimut Bearing: Our unique design and geometry of the integrated Azimut bearing allow the Twin Turbine System to follow the wind regardless of the wind direction. This allows our product to maximize energy output during turbulent wind conditions.
Pole
The upper connection of the pole houses the Azimut Bearing. This part allows for the top of the turbine to rotate freely 360 degrees. With the ability of wind tracking, our product will rotate towards any wind direction instantly with the Azimuth bearing.
Maintenance
Our product is constructed mainly of recyclable materials (RTP, aluminum, and steel). The robust construction of our machines is estimated to have an operating lifetime similar to electricity pylons of about 80-100 years. This is achievable by using a high percentage of wear-free components that minimizes maintenance efforts.
The small footprint of our system allows for our product to be easily installed within an existing infrastructure. Our system provides an innovative solution for harnessing wind energy which was previously considered impossible with the conventional wind turbine products currently on the market.
Our product is designed to combine electric power generation with a multifunctional platform to enable the integration of PV/solar panels, advertisements, antennas for 5G networks, LED display boards, instruments for weather stations, surveillance cameras, and lighting fixtures. There are endless possibilities when using our product as a structural platform.
Areas of application
Pre-existing infrastructure: Our wind turbine system can be implemented in
Parks
On top of pre-existing buildings
Along motorways and railways.
Indoor/outdoor farming.
Rural and Hard-to-Reach Locations: With our system areas that aren’t on the “grid” are able to receive reliable clean electrical power with zero emission.
