Energy Ball - Model EWT - V100 - Wind Turbine
The Energy Ball V100 is a spherical small wind turbine with a diameter of 1 meter. The Energy Sail V10O has 6 rotor blades and is in particular suitable for installation In urban area`s. Since the Energy Ball V100 does not cause any nuisance due to noise or shadow, permits are generally granted faster than comparable small wind turbines. The Energy Ball V100 is installed on a free standing pole with a total height of 10 or 12 meter, or on a flat roof mast with a total height of 3 meters.
At a wind speed of 17 m/s the Energy Ball V100 reaches its maximum output, the maximum output of the Energy Ball V100 is 550 Watt. When the Energy Ball V100 is delivering its maximum output, the power supplied to the grid by the WindPower Inverter is 500 W. The Energy Ball V100 is capable of generating SOOkWh per annum at a site with an average wind speed of 7 m/s. II is however necessary to install the Energy Ball V100 in an open location on top of a high pole (12 m) to achieve this.
The Energy Ball offers the following benefits above a traditional propeller powered wind turbine:
- No noise disturbance; the sound of the wind turbines is caused by the airflow at the end of the propellers. Because of the spherical design of the Energy Ball it has no such ends, causing it to be silent.
- Higher efficiency; the aerodynamic design of the Energy Ball ensures a higher efficiency in the yield of energy.
- Aesthetic design; The shape and appearance in combination with its silent nature, make the Energy Ball excellently suited for placement in housing areas. The design also prevents the forming of drop shadow. Due to its appearance the Energy Ball is a favorite among architects and project developers.
