We are developing 2-bladed utility downwind coflow jet (CFJ) wind turbines for onshore and offshore. A two 2-blade CFJ turbine generates 20% more annual power than a same-size conventional 3-bladed turbine at substantially lower cost. It brings the following benefits:
- Levelized cost of energy reduced by 30%
- Avg power (capacity factor) increased by 20%
- Life span increased by 20%
- Mass reduced by 30%
- Manufac/installation Cost reduced by 20%
- Maximum turbine size ≥ 20MW
- Lower avg wind speed limit reduced by 25%
- Wind farm power density increased by 50%
- Efficient and effective anti-icing system
- More resilient to soiling and erosion
- Reduced load on pitching and yaw motors
- Less blades, more power
