Multi-turbine tower

Field tests of multiple turbines used in a row or series has demonstrated an even greater electrical power output. SheerWind’s INVELOX system, a new concept in wind power generation, is a large funnel that captures, concentrates, and accelerates wind before delivering it to turbines safely and efficiently located at ground level. By placing two turbines in a series in an INVELOX system, power showed an increase of 1.7 times when compared to single turbine. In other words, one 1,000-kilowatt turbine-generator system in an INVELOX produces electrical energy for 341 houses. Two turbines operating in succession produce electrical energy for 579 houses in United States.

With INVELOX, turbines are installed safely and conveniently at ground level, making maintenance less costly, safer, and more efficient. Using multiple turbines in a single INVELOX tower means nearly zero operational downtime because maintenance can be done on one turbine while the other continues energy production. A single INVELOX tower is able to increase production capacity and output—reducing cost per kilowatt—all without additional structure or land use. Operating at wind speeds as low as two miles per hour, SheerWind’s INVELOX requires no subsidies, is price competitive, and has less environmental impact than traditional generation technologies.
