Urban Green Energy (UGE) has completed third-party power performance testing, culminating in a certified power curve for its VisionAIR wind turbine. Vertical axis wind turbines, such as the VisionAIR, have become popular for a wide variety of installations in environments, ranging from remote to urban, as they can produce onsite energy without the noise and vibration levels encountered with other types of wind turbines. By completing the power performance certification, the VisionAIR is now eligible for certain government incentives. The power production testing was performed in accordance with the IEC 61400-12, confirming that the turbine begins exporting power at wind speeds as low as 3.5 m/s (7 mph) and is twice as efficient as several of its competitors. This third-party verification of the turbine’s energy output proves the VisionAIR’s capability, making it a more attractive option for financiers who are banking on the financial returns of their projects.
