Summary:
A Turkish R&D company established in 2014 invented an awarded small scale wind turbine. Compared to the conventional ones, this wind turbine possesses many advantages with respect to power, maintenance, noise, operational costs, usage and practicality. The company also applied for a patent for its product. The company is looking for partners in oder to conclude distribution services, commercial agency and manufacturing agreements.
Description:
Established in 2014, the Turkish R&D company has been producing small and medium-sized wind turbines. Furthermore, the company is also involved in providing green building consultancy services, conducting wind energy potential measurement and analysis, modeling and prototype design and production and developing solutions with reverse engineering applications and hardware.
Since its establishment, the company received quite many incentives in order to develop its wind turbine. In 2017, it developed a 500W test prototype of the wind turbine. Just a year later, the wind turbine's 500W test prototype passed the wind tunnel tests successfully and a 6 kW prototype was developed the same year.
As a result of all these efforts, the company developed an awarded small-scale wind turbine and applied for a patent for its product. This wind turbine which can operate at low wind speeds and change direction according to the wind is an environmental friendly product. It is designed to utilize the wind energy with new methods unlike the traditional solutions. There are some important differences between the company's product and the conventional wind turbines. For example, various arrangements have been made in the product's flow physics. A flow accelerating geometry was designed by using the principles of acceleration of flow in contraction sections and the acceleration of flow speed from high pressure to low pressure combined with the rotor geometry. Due to these adaptations made, the wind turbine has the capacity to produce three times more power than the conventional products of the same diameter in terms of performance. In addition, the product functions quietly because of the absence of a gearbox in the shape and the structure of the flow accelerator which prevents the vortices formed on the wing tips. The product is prominent with its 20-year-design life and needs no maintenance.
In order to enter new markets, the company seeks distributors, commercial agents and offers manufacturing agreement.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company aims to establish long-term business partnerships through distribution services, commercial agency and manufacturing agreements.
The distributors who will be responsible for promoting the company's products will act as the official distributor of the Turkish company in his/her country. Distributors shall have an extensive network to mobile operator providers, renewable energy sector, municipalities, radio, TV and metrology base, radar stations, farm houses and related sectors. Additionally, wholesalers, retailers, importers active in these mentioned fields are also welcome to sign a distribution services agreement.
The commercial agents are expected to promote the company's products in local markets and establish the link between the end-users and the Turkish company.
Also, the company wants to sign manufacturing agreement with partners involved in the above mentioned fields. Before signing an agreement, the partners will be provided in detail about the innovations and advantages of the patented product.
