What is Windcity?
Windcity is all about energies from a variable nature. It’s a fresh take on distributed wind energy production, introducing a new generation of vertical axis mini wind turbines. These turbines are specially designed to harness the unique wind dynamics found in urban settings. The technology dynamically adapts to changes in wind flows, ensuring optimal energy capture and significantly boosting energy yield. Simply put, Windcity makes wind energy more accessible, reliable, and sustainable for everyday use.
Main Benefits of Windcity’s Technology
Here’s what makes Windcity stand out:
- Start-up times reduced by 75%*
- Energy collected increased up to 4 times*
- Generates up to 4000 kWh per year
- Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity for smart management
Patented Technology: PASSIVE VARIABLE GEOMETRY (PVG)
The heart of Windcity’s innovation lies in its patented Passive Variable Geometry (PVG) technology. The blades adapt seamlessly to the changing flow of the wind, which means the turbines can start up faster and collect more energy than traditional models. Plus, the blades are crafted from fibers recycled from old turbines, combining efficiency with sustainability. Safety is a priority too, with CE marked protection systems integrated into the design.
A Complete and Smart Solution
Windcity isn’t just about turbines; it’s a full package. The system features an AI-based maximum power board that’s plug-and-play compatible with standard solar inverters, hybrid systems, and storage solutions. This makes installation and integration a breeze. On top of that, IoT connectivity enables predictive maintenance, energy data marketplaces, and smart grid integration, turning these turbines into smart, connected devices that fit perfectly into modern energy ecosystems.
