City of Nissewaard
Nissewaard
The City of Nissewaard with a population of more than 90,000 inhabitants implemented the Solution in March 2022 with one charging pole combining wind and solar, and 6 bicycle charging racks. The aim was to have a complete off-grid charging station with no more energy costs. Charging on-site with clean energy helped the city advocate for greener transportation to reduce the use of cars and motorcycles by making more e-bikes available for citizens.
Designed to recharge the batteries to power 6 e-bikes in about 2 to 3 days depending on the wind and sun, 14 MWh/year for 20 years = consumption of four elevators, 16 washing machines or 135 vacuum cleaners.
Flower Turbines tackles multiple problems of small wind turbines in one product. In the past, it was common that only inefficient turbines were able to produce little noise. Turbines were placed close to each other resulting in lower performance, people were concerned about bird killing and the turbine's appearance prevented zoning. Flower Turbines uses innovative aerodynamics and design to make small wind turbines that can be used near people and buildings. Offered in several sizes, they are visually pleasing and practically silent. Their higher efficiency compared to turbines of a similar class allows them to produce electricity at lower wind speeds, and their clustering effect allows more turbines to be installed cost-effectively for better performance in any suitable location.
