Kuleko - Wind Turbine

I. GENERAL SITUATION

  • The demand for alternative energy sources is currently very high. A portion of this demand is met by traditional/horizontal wind turbines.

Drawbacks of Traditional Wind Turbines:

  • Limited application area – not suitable for remote, uneven, or small areas;
  • Complexity in construction and manufacturing technology;
  • Requires high wind speed (4-5 m/s) to operate;
  • Requires significant investment.

Solution: The use of vertical-axis wind turbines.

 

II. BRIEF DESCRIPTION

  • Kuleko is a vertical-axis wind generator with special stationary panels.
  • Application areas: Telecommunication facilities, military installations, individual homes and apartments, city and road lighting systems, etc.
  • Key components:
    • Panel;
    • Blade;
    • Generator.
  • Key Features/Advantages:
  1. Special panels on all sides of the system enhance efficiency and prevent system braking;
  2. The system requires a low start speed (1-2 m/s) and automatically activates when the wind blows from any direction;
  3. Two versions available:
    • Off-grid – energy is stored in a battery and used when there is no wind;
    • On-grid – directly connected to the grid;
  4. The system has a controller to prevent motor combustion;
  5. Since it is a vertical-axis turbine, it requires less space and has broader application potential.
