Vertical Sky® is the ideal solution for local power production. The wind turbine is silent and may therefore be installed near populated areas.
Almost silent power production with similar efficiency: Vertical Sky® is an outstanding technology – developed for the distributed power supply. Unlike historical centralized and hotly debated grid structures the Vertical Sky® turbines can be easily installed and used near residential areas. Thus, they can directly supply energy to communities and smaller industrial locations. Vertical Sky® is the solution for the increased demand for renewable energies in intelligent distributed grids (smart or micro grids).
Visualization of a Vertical Sky® turbine in an already built-up area. The characteristics of the vertical axis wind turbine make it possible to position the turbines in the immediate vicinity of the consumer: they are around three times quieter than conventional wind turbines, rotate more slowly and are visible to birds and bats.
Visualization of a Vertical Sky system at a sewage treatment plant - A huge potential: In Germany alone, the potential for in-house electricity production at sewage and water treatment plants would be around 9000 systems.
Visualization of a vertical sky installation on the premises of an industrial company. Permits are usually easier to obtain in building zones that have already been designated as industrial zones and the reactions of local residents are less than in the open countryside.
The Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application designed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify areas of high wind resource for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world and then perform initial calculations. For information on the datasets and methodology used to create the Global Wind Atlas, see the Methodology and Datasets sections.
The climate targets can only be achieved if the use of renewable energies is increased. This requires greater decentralisation, which can only be ensured with compatible technology for local power producers and consumers.
Decentralised power supply:
A lot of electricity is needed for the production of synthetic fuels. If this comes from sustainable and decentralised production, it is a safe and calculable investment
Hydrogen production:
Wind turbines combined with photovoltaics complement each other perfectly
Recreation, tourism and special sites:
Ski regions, campgrounds, amusement parks, remote areas, montain regions and islands
Hybrid applications:
Wind turbines combined with photovoltaics, biogas or diesel plants
Agriculture: Farmers, growers and neighbors using their land for the self-supply of electricity and an additional source of income
Commercial operation: Reduction of electric bills by distributed power supply of one’s own infrastructure, e.g. hotels, hospitals, schools
Industry: Metal and mining industry, paper mills, concrete factories and steel works as well as other heavy industry
Village communities/municipalities:
Power generation for the communal self-supply, e.g. waste water plants, desalination plants, schools
