Wind Talk: Are vertical-axis wind turbines the future of windpower?

By Nic Sharpley | June 3, 2013

Wind TalkI’m Nic Sharpley, managing editor of Windpower Engineering & Development magazine. Welcome to another edition of Wind Talk, Windpower Engineering’s podcast series that gives you the opportunity to hear from the industry’s newsmakers in their own words.

Iñaki Eguizábal, CEO of Kliux Energies, recently showcased his vertical-axis wind turbine at the AWEA WINDPOWER 2013 conference in Chicago. Located in Spain, the company also manufactures a wind and solar hybrid. In this podcast, we will discuss this unique turbine style, it’s benefits, and the industry’s reception toward vertical-axis wind turbines.

    We also love the vawt’s .at this moment we are research the posibilitys of a 500 kw vawt. Because the horizontal turbine can nog goed any bigger because of the Max lengt of the blades. The vawt kan go bigger and so also more capicity and production ..

    I really favor VAWTs over the horizontal axis turbines because they are bird-friendly and will work in variable wind. But, first users need to determine if their site’s wind potential is worth the expense and ongoing maintenance of a wind turbine of any kind. To find out their wind potential, users need to install an anemometer for at least a few months to log wind speeds. There is a low-cost, high-efficiency anemometer available at Wireless Weather Works (at the website noted above) made by RainWise that will help users keep accurate track of wind speeds for their wind study. I recommend readers check out this anemometer.
