Turbine Before The Squall

The prototype VMI VP100 vertical axis turbine generating three-phase 480 volt electricity from the approaching July storm on the western edge of the Great Plains in Clines Corners, New Mexico, USA. The eighty-three foot tall turbine is running better than ever with recent improvements including a strengthened top bearing assembly, an automatic brake wear monitoring system, and control software refinements.

  • VMI VP100 vertical axis turbine is not only the most cost effective wind turbine it's power class. But, it is also a durable piece of equipment that can not only operate in ideal weather conditions but, also, turn the fury of a storm into clean energy that will be utilized by it's end user's.

  • Guys, my faith in the verticals is with you, the ratio of blade to tower being higher than that of the horizontals, though my conservatism is not. Over the years the answer seems to be in getting the blades right, innovations welcomed. We here at www.integener.com have found with our small MicroRotators that great improvements can result.
