Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have several advantages over traditional horizontal-axis turbines (HAWTs), including:

• Lower Noise Levels: VAWTs operate more quietly, making them suitable for urban and residential areas.
• Less Land Required: They require only a third of the land compared to traditional turbines.
• Omni-directional Wind Capture: VAWTs can harness wind from any direction, eliminating the need for complex orientation mechanisms.
• Fauna-Friendly Design: The design is less intrusive to birds and other wildlife.

Our control framework optimizes the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines by dynamically adjusting the blade orientation in real-time. This leads to:

• Threefold Increase in Efficiency: Significantly enhances energy output.
• Reduction in Structural Vibrations: Decreases stress and prolongs the life of the turbine.
• Reduction in Thrust Force: Lowers the force on the turbine tower, improving stability.

Yes, our control framework can be retrofitted onto any vertical-axis wind turbine with actuated blades. We can equip the turbines with sensors and controllers to implement our technology, allowing existing installations to benefit from enhanced performance.

Our technology is ideal for a wide range of industries, including:

• Commercial & Industrial Users (Food processing plants, warehouses, district heating systems, data centers, EV charging stations)
• Agricultural Operations
• Government and Municipal Projects

We have successfully implemented our control framework on a laboratory prototype and are scaling up with an industrial prototype from Agile Wind Power. By 2025, we aim to test our technology in real field conditions on a larger scale.
