Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
TRL Level: 4
Technological Institute of Pachuca.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly electric power generation device with the ability to add value in certification and social recognition processes, in addition, it is based on a design of minimum mechanical loss and high performance with a lower cost of maintenance and operation by 30% compared to similar technologies.
Features and Technical Specifications
- The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine has three straight NACA 63-215 profile blades, a gondola, 6 connectors, angular, three connecting tubes and a tower as an axis.
- The generator has a capacity of 300 W / h.
- Low starting wind speed.
- Fiberglass blades (the material is light).
- Work with low wind speeds.
- It generates sustainable electricity.
- Has a rotating device that helps distribute efforts.
- The design is light and aesthetic.
Technology and Competitive Advantages
- The turbine does not need an orientation system, contrary to horizontal axis wind turbines.
- It is easy to install and maintain, compared to other devices that already exist.
- It is for domestic use, its design is functional and aesthetic, it has few components that make a better operation, unlike other wind turbines of the same type.
- The wind turbine installation must be on roofs or installed in a tower with a minimum height of 10 m.
Technology Applications
Validated Application
