30% new design increases the efficiency of wind turbines



improvement

This reminds us of the famous Moore's Law that has applied for years to achieve improvements computers. But many times we get angry because ours become obsolete.

This case is different. So far the improvements in efficiency windmills were basically this: If you lengthen the blades of the windmills, get more energy. But apparently the company Leviathan Energy is adding to this model through its Wind Energizer and is reporting efficiencies greater than 30% and even up to 150% when it comes winds.

The technology is based on passive objects placed near the turbines and not the turbines themselves. The Wind Energizer is a donut-shaped structure of steel and plastic, but the exact dimensions of it will depend on the specific data, the tower height, the length of the blades, prevailing wind direction, intensity , etc.

"We are shaping the flow so that the highest speed stick in the arms. By increasing the speed at a precise point, we were able to make serious progress on the cost-effectiveness of renewable energy " explained Daniel Farb, CEO of Leviathan Leviathan

estimated payback period of investment Wind Energizer is about four to five years and operators of wind farms could see reduced maintenance costs and increase in life because the Wind Energizer better balance the forces and velocities on the turbine.
