August 30,2009 - Israel21c: Harnessing the urban wind

 
New Israeli technology improves turbine output and efficiency across the board and ensures that even in cities wind farms can generate clean and reliable power.
Anyone who has ever watched a windmill knows that turbines can generate electricity. But because wind doesn't blow at a steady or predictable speed, stable output is difficult to achieve. Furthermore, it's costly to manufacture and maintain components that will stand up well to punishing gusts.
To meet the need for greater reliability and affordability, Variable Wind Solutions (VWS) was founded in Israel about three and a half years ago. Last fall, investors entrusted a total of $2.6 million to enable VWS to start piloting its proprietary electronic technology. The goal is to help transform wind power, at long last, into a practical and widespread source of clean energy, especially on urban wind farms.
VWS technology is geared toward improving turbine output and efficiency - while alleviating stress on components - in the fluctuating wind conditions of population centers.
