We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to WhisperRing as the newest member of Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE). WhisperRing’s innovative approach to wind energy aligns seamlessly with our mission to promote sustainable and efficient wind technologies abroad.
Revolutionizing wind turbine design
WhisperRing has reimagined the traditional wind turbine, introducing a design that is not only cost-effective but also adaptable to various locations. Key features of their technology include:
-
Low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE): The WR8.5 model offers behind-the-meter solutions at €100/MWh, while the WR72 model is designed for utility-scale applications at €25/MWh.
-
Reduced Maintenance: By eliminating the gearbox and utilizing magnetic materials, maintenance requirements are significantly lowered.
-
Environmental Considerations: The turbines operate at lower rotational speeds, resulting in reduced noise emissions and a decrease in bird fatalities.
-
Scalable Production: The patented Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) production process allows for easy scalability to meet varying demand levels.
Innovative features and benefits
WhisperRing’s turbines boast several advantages over conventional designs:
-
Aerodynamic Ring Structure: The unique ring shape enhances airflow efficiency, leading to higher energy yields.
-
Modular Direct Drive Generator: This design allows for flexible power management and improved performance across different wind conditions.
-
Lightweight Construction: Utilizing CFRP materials results in turbines that are 80% lighter than traditional models, facilitating easier installation and reduced structural stress.
-
Extended Service Life: Certified by UL for a 30-year service life, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
-
Sustainability: The design minimizes the use of rare earth metals and allows for easy recycling of materials at the end of the turbine’s life cycle.
Looking ahead
WhisperRing is currently advancing towards the production phase, with plans to develop prototypes and establish large-scale manufacturing facilities. Their commitment to innovation and sustainability positions them as a valuable contributor to the global wind energy sector.
We are excited to have WhisperRing join our network!
