SKE Turbine 1000+
Vertical axis wind turbine
The SKE Turbine 1000+ is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) designed to harness wind energy efficiently, even at low wind speeds. Its innovative design divides the functionality of traditional large horizontal turbines into smaller vertical units, addressing several limitations of conventional turbines.
Innovative VAWT Design
Each SKE turbine generates 1000W. The SKE 1000+ package comprises three such turbines, totaling 3000W of clean energy production with low start-up wind speeds.
Total Output
3000W (3 x 1000+ units)
Start-up Speed
1.2 m/s
Omnidirectional Wind Capture
Captures wind from any direction without the need for mechanical orientation systems, maximizing energy generation in variable wind conditions.
Low Noise Operation
Operates at just 44 dB at 8 m/s, equivalent to a quiet library, making them suitable for urban and residential applications.
Low Start-up Wind Speed
Begins generating power at wind speeds as low as 1.2 m/s, ensuring consistent energy production even in low-wind environments.
Reduced Bird Impact
Vertical design and slower blade tip speeds significantly reduce bird strike incidents compared to traditional horizontal turbines.
Ground-level Maintenance
All electrical and mechanical components are accessible at ground level, reducing maintenance costs and improving safety.
Compact Footprint
Smaller physical footprint compared to horizontal turbines, allowing for higher density installations in limited spaces.
