VENTERA VT10 240

It doesn’t get any simpler than this. This new concept in generating your own renewable energy performs much like any large electrical appliance such as a clothes dryer or air conditioner, but instead of taking electrical power FROM an outlet, you put electricity INTO the outlet! If at any time your wind system is producing more energy than you are using, your electric meter will run backwards reducing your electric bill. If your electrical loads are larger than the wind generator production, your meter will slow down reflecting your reduced need to buy electricity at retail from the utility.

Designed to Pay for Itself Quickly
Few things in this life are free, but you might agree our new era Ventera VT10 wind system comes pretty close. Designed for at least a 30 year life and minimum maintenance, the Ventera wind turbine can produce $2000 or more worth of electricity per year, electricity you would otherwise have to buy.
The rotating mechanical force of the propeller directly drives an ultra high efficiency permanent magnet generator mounted to an aluminum mainframe with no transmission to rob power, require lubrication or need maintenance.
Careful design of every component and advanced tooling and manufacturing processes bring the initial cost of the Ventera turbine, synchronous inverter and self-supporting tower to historic lows.

The Ventera VT10 Wind Generator
The new Ventera 10 kilowatt turbine is specifically designed to be the most efficient wind turbine available for converting wind energy into electricity. Three advanced, proprietary airfoil-shaped blades “fly” in the wind, much like a modern airplane wing, to convert the kinetic energy of moving air mass into rotating mechanical force. The blades of this propeller have a specific shape which has been developed from our 30 years of wind turbine design experience - providing the highest output at the lowest noise level at all wind speeds for a propeller of this diameter.
The frame is an aluminum casting (made from environmentally friendly recycled aluminum), not an expensive weldment. The downwind orientation eliminates the need for a costly and cumbersome tail. The blades are injection molded for low cost and absolute uniformity. The brushless, one-moving-part, large diameter alternator minimizes the use of copper, steel and rare earth magnet material.

OTHER OPTIONS

Grant Writing:  WERC has a Grant Writing Team that has been successful on 25 grant applications to date. USDA grants, CERT’s grants, Power Company Grants and other grants are possible for the pioneering purchasers of small wind turbines, especially if educationally oriented.

Data Option # 1 (Simple Data Harvesting on a dedicated, on-site computer):  Wind Speed, Multiple Views of Kilowatt Hours, Amps and Volts Produced, Temperature, Graphs, Line Charts, Live Usage Charts

Data Option # 2 (Data Harvesting plus Internet Publishing of Data):  Wind Speed, Multiple Views of Kilowatt Hours, Amps and Volts Produced, Temperature, Graphs, Line Charts, Live Usage Charts.  This accurate data is publishable and can be used by Schools, Sponsors and Stakeholders for Education and Economic Development in your area.

Antenna Option:  Earn additional income from antenna leasing on your tower. WERC will identify options for leasing carrier space on your tower for antenna for wireless communications, arrange contracts for you with carriers or pay you directly. Please realize that foundation design strength will need to increase (cost too) with certain antenna types. Contact us for consulting or WERC may offer a fixed annual rate, depending on site.
