The wind turbine generator can utilise winds from all directions unlike traditional HAWTs which need to track the oncoming wind. This is an important advantage in locations where winds are turbulent, gusty and constantly changing directions.

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
