Statistics
Our Vertical Wind Turbine produces 2.5 kw of energy.
The vertical axis wind turbines will be installed as a large scale in the wind farm for the best performance, the electricity it generated would be evenly distributed to the destinations.
The amount of energy lost would be very little due to the cylindrical design that closer the space between turbines, air blocked by one affects another by speeding it up, its single maximum efficiency would be high as a 59% and will be greater than a traditional wind turbine when it is installed in a large scale.
