VRTB turbine WRTB turbine vertical wind turbine
The "WRTB MPCT" is a highly reliable wind turbine controller - battery charger and its most critical feature is to maximize the harvested energy from the 3-Phase wind turbine into the battery by using the advanced technology of MPCT. The controller allows direct maximum power coefficient tracking for winds of entire range speeds.
The wide range of the input generator’s voltage and output battery voltage is well applied to the wind system to allow the system planner to produce the most of the wind energy. The input voltage range of the "WRTB MPCT" family may be wired in the range of 0 ~ 220 VAc nominal and the Maximum Automatic Brake Function is 300 Vdc.
"WRTB MPCT" may not only be used in wind off-grid systems but also wind hybrid systems.

Existing wind turbines solutions may divide into 2 major groups:
- Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) - propeller windmills
- Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) - wind rotor
Historically, horizontal-axis propeller windmills (HAWT) have been widely utilized. These systems feature blades (usually 1, 2, or 3) of intricate design, along with costly speed reducers and control systems to adjust the mill and blades' orientation in response to changing wind direction and speed. Smaller to medium-sized windmill setups often employ basic yaw mechanisms for wind capture. Despite Betz's law suggesting that only 59% of wind's kinetic energy can be converted into mechanical energy, propeller windmills face challenges due to rapid wind speed and direction changes as well as turbulence. Consequently, HAWT turbines can only harness around 10-25% of wind kinetic energy as mechanical power, which is then converted to electrical energy output at rates ranging from 50-69%. This conversion process involves various components like reducers, friction oil, electrical circuitry, and generators.
Propeller windmills require a stable and perpendicular wind stream for optimal performance, as any deviations in wind direction can significantly reduce power extraction efficiency, leading to higher energy output costs per kilowatt-hour (kW-h).

The Offered Solution
The Windrotor Bolotov, a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with high efficiency, offers several key advantages. It features standardized assembly modules and low maintenance costs, making it a cost-effective option. The turbine's design allows it to convert wind energy into mechanical power with a conversion ratio of around 42%, subsequently transformed into electric energy with an impressive ratio of 92-94%. This efficient conversion is achieved through a unique stator-rotor solution that accelerates wind speed, eliminating the need for a reducer and utilizing a specialized electrical generator and scheme.
One notable feature of the Windrotor is its modular design, enabling output scalability by adjusting the height through adding standard modules with "pads." This turbine operates across a broader range of wind speeds compared to traditional propeller windmills, boasting higher energy effectiveness as demonstrated in accompanying diagrams. Moreover, by placing components like the generator and gearbox on the ground, maintenance costs are significantly reduced, making it a more economically viable option.
A comparative analysis between Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) and Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) like the Windrotor Bolotov was conducted based on experiments carried out in a specific geographic region of Middle Asia, considering the annual wind speed distribution. The paradoxical nature of wind speed averages, as highlighted, underscores the significance of capturing energy from a wide spectrum of wind speeds, a principle central to the efficiency of the "windrotor Bolotov" machine, exemplified in Figures 2 and 3.
Turbine Components (see the wind turbine diagram)
Windrotor Bolotov turbine components include:
1) Blades of the rotors convert the wind energy in rotating the shaft;
2) Blades of the stators, direct and accelerate the airflow to the rotor’s blades;
3) A generator box and a generator are designed for a counter-rotation function of 2 modular blades system (upper and lower module);
4) A “tower”- foundation that supports the wind rotor machine;
5) Electrical enclosure with other equipment, including controller, electrical cables, batteries, and interconnection equipment.
The VAWT Windrotor Bolotov and its integrated power systems have demonstrated remarkable long-term performance across various macro-climatic conditions, proving to be highly efficient. Over 100 projects of a critical infrastucture have been successfully completed in the alternative energy sector, utilizing WRTB equipment known for its diverse lineup. These systems have been deployed in extreme environments such as the Yenisei Bay (with an annual average wind speed of 10 m/s and temperatures as low as -50°C), the "Dzungarian Gate" (facing annual hurricanes with speeds reaching up to 47 m/s), and the islands of the Finland Bay (with wind speeds of 30 m/s and moist sub-zero temperatures). An emerging trend in the realm of sustainability and cost-effectiveness lies in energy complexes integrating alternative wind and solar converters with a capacity of up to 50 kW. These systems find application as reliable power sources for telecommunications equipment, lighthouses, hydrometeorological services, and technical monitoring stations.
Introducing an innovative wind turbine solution, the WRTB turbine boasts a power curve akin to conventional wind turbines.
However, through a blend of design elements and cutting-edge technologies, this turbine excels in efficiently harvesting wind energy.
The Vertical-axis wind turbine Windrotor Bolotov - "WRTB" is a standout performer, offering a 30% increase in wind energy harvesting efficiency compared to most small wind turbines. It showcases the following key features:
