Innovation Grid

Purpose: Making a wind generator viable for low winds by developing innovative blades.

Objectives

Development of an innovative blade and a machine designed from the outset for very low winds, properly optimized. This machine could also be installed in slightly windier locations and have a much higher capacity factor than existing machines, reducing the cost of generating the modal.

Key Results

  • Technical: Pilot wind farm (TRL7) with 03 wind turbines for experimental studies
  • Strategic: New wind system; possibility of a DG project or SG complementation
  • Economic: Expansion of generation; production of ABV wind turbines
