Our Product: The Wind Energy Sail
The Wind Energy Sail consists in a light metallic and textile structure with a design to artificially accelerate the wind flow through the area swept by the rotor of the turbine without increasing its turbulence.
Depending on the initial wind conditions of our customer’s wind farm, our product could result in increased energy production up to 30% and reduced cost-of- energy of such energy up to 30% lower than the wind farm’s, increasing substantially the competitiveness and profitability of our customers’ assets.

This video shows a very simplified, yet explanatory, simulation of the path that the wind follows thanks to the Wind Energy Sail, as well as its speed (the more red the markers, the higher the speed).
Depending on the initial wind conditions of our customer’s wind farm, our product could result in increased energy production up to 30% and reduced cost-of- energy of such energy up to 30% lower than the wind farm’s, increasing substantially the competitiveness and profitability of our customers’ assets.
Our Product: The Wind Energy Sail
Wind energy production from a wind turbine is the result of the integration of the wind’s Weibull frequency distribution (i.e.: frequency of wind speeds in a given site) and the wind turbine’s power curve (i.e. power of a wind turbine according to the site’s wind speed).
The Wind Energy Sail has the effect of shifting the original wind’s Weibull frequency distribution to the right, as it is represented in the illustrative example in this figure, making higher wind speeds more frequent.
