Wind energy, both onshore and offshore, is going to play a big part in the world’s transition to renewable energy. When we think of wind energy, usually the first thing that pops up in our mind is huge wind turbines against a bright blue sky. In fact, most wind energy projects make use of conventional wind turbines with blades to generate renewable energy.<\/p>
However, there are some renewable energy startups walking down a different path. Instead of wind turbines with blades, they use an innovative design which does not involve any blades. In this guide, I ranked and reviewed the top 5 bladeless wind energy startups in 2023<\/strong>.<\/p> A typical wind turbine comprises three blades, the majority of which are composed of fibreglass. Because winds are less turbulent and more easily caught at higher elevations, the typical modern land-based wind turbine has blades that are over 52 metres long and a steel tower that is over 30 metres tall. Using the aerodynamic force generated by the rotor blades, which function similarly to a helicopter rotor, it converts wind energy into electricity.<\/p> The rotor begins to rotate when wind blows over the blade. A shaft and a set of gears that speed up the rotation and enable a physically smaller generator are used to link the rotor to the generator. Electricity is produced as a result of the conversion of aerodynamic force into generator rotation.<\/p> Bladeless wind turbines work similarly, but without the blades. Currently, this design generates less electricity compared to the conventional one, but it requires less maintenance, is safer, and is silent. <\/p> What are the Top 5 Bladeless Wind Energy Startups in 2023?<\/strong><\/p> My top picks are Vortex Bladeless, Luvside, IceWind, World Wide Wind and New World Wind.<\/strong><\/p>1.
