Why is Dermonds VAWT better than previous VAWTs?
For maximum efficiency, Dermond selected omni-directional VAWT technology because the collecting area is constant and independent of wind direction, therefore, the collecting area for wind energy is always optimized and the turbine is constantly in a position to develop maximum power. In extreme and remote climatic environments, Dermonds VAWT has many decisive advantages. Its wind turbine is simple, rugged, and easy to manufacture, designed to operate at temperatures as low as -60C. The simplicity of its construction requires minimal maintenance. Compared to the competition, Dermonds VAWT is equipped with a synchronous generator connected to a DC Bus allowing power correction and the possibility of connecting other sources of energy to the bus. A DC/AC converter connects Dermonds VAWT system to the grid. The system controls quantity and quality of the delivered power to grid. Dermond used a conventional approach to design its wind-turbine in optimizing existing technologies retaining t
