Local Power Advantage and the move to Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Urban wind arrays, harnessing wind for local energy. New technology and verification of data from studies involving vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) arrays are offering new opportunities to harness wind for local communities, urban and rural. Star Sailor is at the forefront of new patented, performance-adaptive, biomimetic high-lift vertical wind turbine (Hy-VAWT™) technology. Our patented Hy-VAWT™ products were tested in hurricane winds, icing weather and in urban wildlife habitats along with our animals and families. We have tested the our American made wind products through changing climate and changing attitudes. Efficiency in land use is key. A study by the California Institute of Technology’s Robert W. Whittlesey, Sebastian Liska and John Dabiri shows that horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) experience reduced efficiency when they’re located close to one another. In contrast, research on vertical-axis wind turbines shows that closely spaced VAWT's (e.g., Star Sailor Hy-VAWT™) experience increases in an individual turbine’s power in a closely packed array and therefore yield much higher power outputs per acre than HAWT's. To investigate the effect of changes in VAWT spatial arrangement on the array performance coefficient (a measure of the expected average power coefficient of turbines in an array), Whittlesey et al. also reported their observations on a potential flow model of VAWT interactions. Star Sailor's stacked turbine towers control vortices internally, thereby improving their performance. This was first observed in wind tunnel testing for Star Sailor by Dr. James Delaurier of the University of Toronto. Other efficiencies are now being evaluated by Star Sailor and external researchers.

| Local Power Advantage: - Increased security, resilience and sustainability, Star Sailor's rugged, hurricane wind tested T-Com™ wind turbines completed nearly a decade of field testing: - Low-maintenance, set-up and forget design, *Fragmentation zones - technically defined as a Turbine Failure Projectile Zone (TFPZ), is associated with the installation of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) or propeller turbine. The installation of HAWT or propeller wind turbines, particularly in built areas, must include safety analysis determining the TFPZ. |
