ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES: THE MDN MICRO- WIND/HYDRAULICS TURBINE
"Description of the innovation project: We designed a micro-turbine with vertical axis suitable for wind and water applications. In addition, a flow conveyor was added to the basic configuration of the machine. The new component improves the efficiency in the energy production process."

State of development
- Prototype
Industrial application
- Micro-wind turbines in urban areas, i.e. installation on roofs and terraces, or as public lighting poles. These types of machine are strongly required in the agricultural sector complementarily to the agricultural activity. Vertical turbines can be installed without the use of cement and occupy very limited space. Recently, they have been studied in hydrodynamic environments, such as the marine water currents or insertion in free- surface channels with a water speed of more than 1 m/s
Advantage factor
- We hold an International patent on the flow conveyor that increases the efficiency of vertical axis turbines of 30% 50% in wind energy, up to 90% in water.
