A next-generation vertical wind turbine is set to be put on trial south of Adelaide in a novel research collaboration between Flinders University and South Australian start-up company VAWT-X Energy.
Supported by private equity and state and federal funding, the research team has constructed and tested a 6KW prototype to install at a field site on the Fleurieu Peninsula in coming weeks.
The futuristic new design could help to increase the sustainability and energy operating costs of residential, agricultural and light industrial operations close to metropolitan areas, as well as large-scale offshore windfarms.
