The growing demand for renewable energy solutions has driven significant interest in the development of efficient, reliable wind energy systems. Our Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are particularly well-suited for urban, rural and offshore environments due to their ability to capture wind from any direction and their potential for integration closer to structures and treelines. However, current VAWT designs face challenges related to efficiency, start-up behaviour, and adaptability to turbulent wind conditions. Flag Turbines has developed a hybrid VAWT design that integrates the Darrieus and Savonius designs to create a system capable of addressing these challenges.
At Flag Turbines, our research and development journey spans over 5 years, 10 generations and more than 12,000 hours of field testing. In 2022, we finally arrived at our core patented technology called the ‘Cycloidal Turbine’.
