Discover How the Startup Accelerate Wind Is Transforming Renewable Energy Generation (Wind and Solar) with New Mini Wind Turbines
A revolution is coming in the field of renewable energy, and the American startup Accelerate Wind is leading the way with an innovative business model that promises to accelerate the adoption of mini wind turbines on rooftops. By combining solar industry experience with wind technology, the company is tackling the challenge of harvesting energy from slower winds and making wind energy a viable option even in urban environments, according to the Ekkogreen website.
The Integration of Renewable Experience, Solar and Wind
Accelerate Wind is bringing a new approach to installing wind turbines on the rooftops of commercial buildings. By utilizing the expertise of the solar industry and focusing on efficient wind capture, the renewable company is overcoming the space and proximity limitations to the ground that traditionally hinder the installation of small wind turbines.
An innovative prototype was installed on the Argonne campus, featuring a wind-capturing airfoil that takes advantage of wind speed at the roof edge to significantly increase the power generated by the wind turbine. With an onboard renewable energy storage system and an efficient supply chain, the prototype promises to reduce wind energy costs by up to 60%.
