Venturi Wind BV - Product description
Venturi turbines create a wind flow pattern that converges first -like rapids in a river. This is induced by the unique
aerodynamic Venturi characteristics. Therefore the turbine experiences a higher wind speed than other wind turbines would observe.
This enables the Venturi turbine to generate electricity at very low wind speeds. Little gusts can be utilized for electricity generation
where conventional turbines would use these to start rotating. The patents for the Venturi principles are valid until 2019.
At inland locations,
this characteristic enables the Venturi turbine to generate power during 80 to 90 percent of the time. Other turbines rotate just 50 percent of
the time because they are designed for windy locations. Windy locations geographically cover only a small part of the land surface: e.g. the seaside.
When conventional wind turbines are placed inland, energy production is low and down times are long because they will rotate only half of the time.
Also, they are too noisy when they run. At such a location, the Venturi turbine will produce two to three times as much energy and down times are
short.
Sun shines mainly in summer while during wintertime there is more wind. Sun and wind are anti cyclic. Photovoltaic sun panels generate
electricity during daytime only and the bulk of energy during the summer period. Therefore sun panels and wind turbines are complementary,
resulting in a more reliable and constant energy source.
The Venturi principle can be applied to all sizes of turbines from very large to MWT’s.
In stand-alone application with a battery, the addition of a small sun panel to a Venturi turbine will result in a very reliable stand-alone system.
Such a system could e.g. feed a light at a remote location.
The Advantages of the Venturi turbines are:
