The Vertical Sky® Technology

Quiet, large-scale local wind power

Vertical Sky® A40, the first 1-MW vertical-axis wind turbine, measures 133m from the ground and meets the stringent international certification requirements for large wind turbines (IEC 61400). The turbine series offers efficiency comparable to standard modern turbines and is especially suited to decentralised electricity production to meet on-site needs.

The Vertical Sky® wind turbines are characterised by a lower rotational speed compared to conventional wind turbines. This reduced speed minimises aerodynamic noise emissions considerably and enables particularly quiet operation.

*The stated 35 dB refer to a distance of 100 metres from the turbine.


This low-noise characteristic makes the Vertical Sky® turbine ideal for use in industrial areas. There, it can generate renewable energy directly on site and thus contribute to the sustainable power supply of industrial plants. Decentralised energy production reduces transmission losses and increases the efficiency of the use of renewable resources.

Continuous pitching makes the difference

Vertical Sky® technology from Agile Wind Power is a true innovation. In 2019, a large, high-performance and economically scalable vertical-axis wind turbine was built and certified for the first time ever.

Highly efficient technology:
1 MW and more

In the past, only rather small vertical-axis wind turbines have been built. The rotor blades were mounted stationary and had a high rotational speed. Due to the possibility of a low rotational speed the Vertical Sky® - Technology can garantee low centrifugal forces and low strain on the structure. Thus, the megawatt-class is possible.

Both our own and independent calculations showed that the power coefficient is level with modern wind energy plants.
