Ecofys BV is developing a series of Urban Turbines, innovative wind turbines for built up areas. We
are working on wind turbines for placement on buildings, near buildings and integrated in street
furniture. We expect a great future for small, urban, building integrated wind turbines and we have
a team of people working on research and development, sales and marketing.
Large windturbines have become an increasingly familiar sight within the landscape, often
situated in wind farms in remote areas, and away from the towns. Yet, another opportunity is
opening up with the appearance of small wind turbines that are suited to the urban environment.
Blending elegantly into the built environment, designed specifically for the demanding wind
profiles common in built-up areas, they offer another chance to benefit from the power of the wind.
Urban Turbines are designed as a landmark for sustainable energy. They are especially designed for
difficult wind situations, commonly found in urban situations.
The advantages of an Urban Turbine:
- An Urban Turbine withstands the turbulent winds.
- The vertical axis makes an Urban Turbine independent to the often changing wind direction.
- An Urban Turbine does have a high annual energy production, at relatively low wind speeds.
- An Urban Turbine has an attractive and distinctive design . |
