New invented 3D JET rotor is a unique device for exploitation of wind / river / canal / tidal current resources, including in low moving water. The most natural common water flow is low speed water currents - about 1 m/s and less. Our 3D diagonal blades JET rotors and spiral shaped rotors best performed at low speed currents. We have completed a very successful set of model-scale tests in and these tests have proven the hydrodynamic – air dynamic efficiency of the turbine designed for low wind/water speeds.

Tornado wind turbine (HAWT) with 3D rotor

New Designed 3D  horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) for Ultra Low Cut-in Wind Speed. You see on the display of wind speed meter (anemometer)that the wind speed as low as 0.7 m/s when turbine generates voltage - see the multimeter. We often see people post questions on forums, where they are looking for a wind turbine "with a low cut-in wind speed". Typically the cut-in wind speed is the wind speed where the turbine starts turning. For most wind turbines it is around 2.5 - 3.5 m/s (5.5 - 8 mph), New designed 3D rotor of shown HAWT starts rotation at 0.5 m/s. It a Down wind turbine which is much more robust in the comparison of the most popular up-wind turbines.

Starton Engineering JSCo. provides technical and environmental services to progress the priority sites, including a feasibility study for a large site in mountainous and coastal regions. The viability of the site was known to be dependent on the realistic capacity of the wind farm, due to a major cost anticipated in relation to the required Starton Engineering JSCo. provided an initial estimate of potential wind farm capacity at the site, followed by an in-depth study, which determined the feasible number and location of turbines. This was achieved by investigating the technical and environmental constraints experienced at the site and by developing an appropriate wind farm design in response to the specific features of this site and surroundings.

Our team gave consideration to priority issues, including:

Power engineering is the fastest progressing branch of the world energetics in the last years, and it is due to a lot of reasons. Most important of them are; rise in the price of energy in general; increasing of the global warming and ecological problems with thermoelectric end atomic power stations, which dominate in the world energetics, increasing of the capacity of wind power generators, and not at the last place – reduction of the prices of the wind power generators on a world scale, toward their level ten years ago. On the background of the described global tendency, the energy policy of our government is completely in unison with the european tendencies for economy and administrative stimulations of energy production from renewable energy sources (RES). The preferential purchase price, for example, of the electricity from RES, in particular from wind, defined from The Commission of energy and water regulation, raised from 6 eurocents per kilowatt-hour in 2003 to nearly 9 eurocents per kilowatt-hour in 2006. Namely the permanent and methodical examination of the euro-energy policy guarantee, that in Bulgaria, energy productions from RES will progress ahead of time.

At these profitable preferential legal and economic conditions, the wind climate in more regions in Bulgaria already allows building of effective wind power stations, which are profitable, and at the same time provide not long term of recovery of the investments.

In the colloquial language, and in the meteorology as well, the velocity of the wind is accepted as parallel vectors to each other, square to the terrain, which vectors has changeable at all azimuths direction. But in the reality such wind doesn’t exist; furthermore at the frontier layer of air.

Differential wind energy audit
Generally said, the vector of the wind is not horizontal. Its horizontal ingredient is this one, which has the energy importance for the operation of wind generators. But it is part of the wind speed, which has components along the other two axes of the three-dimensional Cartesian (3-D) space as well, and these components hinder more or less the work of the wind turbines.

The results of this measurement are being analyzed individually as components, and in common.
First goal is sifting out the important energy ingredients of wind from the other – not useful, which the turbines drug along, and evaluation of the damages. These damages do not depend only on the not horizontal compounds but on the amplitude fluctuations of the wind at all directions, called turbulence, as well.

Designing of wind power plants
At the wind power stations, the primary energy resource (the wind) is variable at its velocity and its direction. Therefore the designing of wind power stations always divides into two consecutive phases. The first one is the wind energy audit, and the second one is the designing itself. Both phases are even important. First phase is decisive for the choice of transformation technology of the wind energy into electricity, which has important meaning for the optimal choice between competitive wind power generators.
At the second phase are being chosen alternative variants (alternatives) of wind power generators, on the base of analysis of their technical parameters of energy and their best correspondence with the specific wind climate conditions of the audited place.
The project concludes with a technical and economical analysis, investments and ecological evaluations of the projected alternative versions.

Detailed plan within three steps, of preliminary engineering, is presented below:

Not technical criteria of wind power farm design
In principle, each project has energy-technical and economical part. Here we will mark formal and economical criteria, which have essential place in the complete engineering. It is inexpediently for these questions to be considered in details in one book, because each detailed analysis is concrete. Such analyses are being made individually for each wind energy project.
We should mind at firs place, that the choice of over all dimensions and consequently the capacity of the turbines depends on the terrain and on the way of using it. There are two formal restrictions, in accordance with special regulation, where the distances between the turbines and between them and the urbanized territories, are defined (they exist in project as well). Distances between 5 to 7 turbine rotors at the direction of the prevailing wind for the concrete terrain are standardized and 3 to 5 diameters – square to this direction. This is criterion, which provides relatively good work of a group of turbines, but it doesn’t guarantee neither their optimal production of electricity, nor their optimal reliability and durability. For evaluation of these characteristics, it is necessary to be made configurational project, which is subject of the second part of this book, whose first edition was published in 2005.

The second formal criterion is the sanitary norm that is determined in a minimum - 600 meter from the frontiers of the urbanized territories. Without making detailed comment, we should note that the closeness to transmission line with proper tension and free capacity to export generated electricity from the wind power station also has importance at the engineering stage. If there isn't existing proper electric infrastructure, the time for putting the project into operation will be shortest.

Prices of power generated by wind turbines (feed-in tariff)

Since the beginning of 2007, there are two stage preferential tariff for buying up of the electricity, generated by new wind turbines,

* For wind generators with 2250 (more than 0.257 capacity factor ) and more full effective operational hours annually - 80 euros / MWh
* For wind generators with less than 2250 (below 0.257 capacity factor ) full effective operational hours annually - 90 euros / MWh

The above tariffs are without VAT. As new wind generators are considered turbines, produced later than 01.01.2006. Wind generators, produced before this date, are considered as old, no matter if they are exploited or not.

From the table we can see that the differences are quite big and they will have significant influence over the investment indexes, as well as on the size of the needed opening stock.

Even without making such analyses, one can see that it is economically profitable the turbines to work less than 2250 hours, in comparison with the case, when they would have worked a little bit more than this hour limit This refers to new machines. If they are not big, their transport and their montage will be not expensive and in the long run it could be turned out that they are economically more effective over terrains, where the wind conditions are more unfavorabl. But If the machines are cheap (second hand) and proper aggregates are being mounted on windy places the, than their economical efficiency could be better in comparison with the new machines, no matter that the buying up tariff is considerably lower.

This brief analysis gives us the possibility to understand, that universal proper choice of aggregates doesn’t exist. They can be small or big; new or old; horizontally-axial or vertically-axial; individually working, or a few in a big group – wind park; or in few smaller groups etc. All reciprocally excluding alternatives mentioned here, can be combined in different ways. But providing for the height of the generators over the terrain and their initial expenses, the problem appears with ambiguitive solution.
