Frequently asked questions - Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Q: What are the main technological advantages? A: Minimal maintenance requirements - Wide variety of applications possible - Start-up wind speed of 1m/s, generative at 1.2m/s - Highly suitable for small scale domestic and commercial generation - The VAWT can generate power regardless of wind direction - Supports mounting and the wind regime in built up urban environments - Capable of maintaining continuous operation whilst in volatile wind conditions - Minimal structural and noise implications of mounting wind turbines on or within a building structure - Optimised wind turbine design for building applications - Has a vastly reduced amount of moving components, therefore reducing the risk of any major component failure - Quick and simple installation - Its design its more aesthetically pleasing, creating the opportunity to earn advertising revenues - Its designs are safer for birds - Immediate reduction in CO2 emissions
