~ The Growth Of Wind Energy
Wind Turbine Company Logo
Wind
energy has been the fastest growing energy source in the world since
1990. However, this growth has been achieved with wind turbine
technology that has required subsidization. We plan to change this
picture.
Since 1997, The Wind Turbine Company (WTC) has been
developing a revolutionary 2-blade, downwind wind turbine. Our 250 kW
first prototype has been in testing since May 2000 at the Department of
Energy's National Wind Technology Center near Boulder, Colorado. Our 500
kW second prototype was installed in December 2001 in northern Los
Angeles County, California.
We have gained valuable experience
and an appreciation of the challenges faced in developing new wind
technology since these machines first went into operation. Along the way
we have accomplished many of our goals, and have had a few setbacks,
which have proven to be even more valuable learning experiences.
To date, we have focused on mechanical hardware and the turbine's
control system, improving our understanding of the operating
characteristics and fatigue load reduction potential of our proprietary
flapping-hinged rotor design. We are now focusing on demonstrating our
turbines can meet commercial operating and reliability standards. In the
final stage of our development effort we will design a new rotor blade
to optimize turbine performance. This will allow us to increase rated
capacity of the turbine platform to 750kW. Once these new blades have
been tested, we will deploy turbines in several small demonstration
installations in North America and prospectively overseas, and then be
ready to offer our turbines commercially.
Our goal has always
been to produce a utility-scale wind turbine that does not need
subsidies in order to compete in electricity markets. Our target is to
reduce the unsubsidized cost of generating wind energy to
3.0¢/kilowatt-hour in large windfarm applications. Then we'll see some
real growth in the use of wind energy!
We hope you enjoy our web site and welcome you aboard.
