Operational Impact
The sweep-twist design’s promised load-shedding response resulted in a 12 percent power output boost over similarly-rated turbines now in operation—without load increase. | |
The design met critical buckling limits at more than five times those of extreme wind conditions—a large margin of safety driven by the fact that stiffness to limit deflection, rather than ultimate material strength, was the key structural criteria. | |
The prototypes were also field-tested, generating extensive data (as well as power) for several months in Tehachapi, CA—site of the TerraGen commercial wind facility and also one of the largest wind generation areas in the country. | |
