INNOWIND | Low-cost and low-maintenance innovative mid-power horizontal axis wind turbine operable with low winds and small installation areas.

Summary
"Sistema Eólico Morcillo is a Spanish SME specialized in the development, construction and sales of innovative medium power wind turbine systems. We have developed and patented a disruptive multi-award winning wind turbine technology called INNOWIND. By 2050, the EU-28 aims to achieve CO2 emissions cuts of 80-95% compared to 1990 levels and to achieve a 20% share for renewable energy sources in its overall energy consumption by 2020. This requires a process of ""decarbonising"" Europe's economy, including the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. Wind energy and Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy have been the leading sources of low carbon electricity generation in EU since 2011. The installation of wind turbines is characterized by very high construction costs that amortize slowly over the years through the sale of electricity to the grid. The amount of energy produced depends mainly on the nominal power of the installed generator and of the amount of wind that can be used. INNOWIND offers cost-effective mid-power wind turbine farms, with high flexibility in terms of size and area of construction, with low security requirements and no special construction permits required, making implementation in urban areas a possibility. INNOWIND offers for the first time the opportunity to make use of terrain not suitable for conventional wind farming. Furthermore, thanks to the easy scaling of the units from 50kW to 1000kW, it is possible to cater the specific power needs in a wider range of use-cases and scenarios. Other unique selling points include less visual and environmental impacts, safer in case of storm or fire damage"

Original description

"Sistema Eólico Morcillo is a Spanish SME specialized in the development, construction and sales of innovative medium
power wind turbine systems. We have developed and patented a disruptive multi-award winning wind turbine technology
called INNOWIND.
By 2050, the EU-28 aims to achieve CO2 emissions cuts of 80-95% compared to 1990 levels and to achieve a 20% share
for renewable energy sources in its overall energy consumption by 2020. This requires a process of ""decarbonising""
Europe's economy, including the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. Wind energy and Solar
photovoltaic (PV) energy have been the leading sources of low carbon electricity generation in EU since 2011.
The installation of wind turbines is characterized by very high construction costs that amortize slowly over the years through
the sale of electricity to the grid. The amount of energy produced depends mainly on the nominal power of the installed
generator and of the amount of wind that can be used.
INNOWIND offers cost-effective mid-power wind turbine farms, with high flexibility in terms of size and area of construction,
with low security requirements and no special construction permits required, making implementation in urban areas a
possibility. INNOWIND offers for the first time the opportunity to make use of terrain not suitable for conventional wind
farming.
Furthermore, thanks to the easy scaling of the units from 50kW to 1000kW, it is possible to cater the specific power needs in
a wider range of use-cases and scenarios. Other unique selling points include less visual and environmental impacts, safer
