The alternative energy lifestyle concept implements the idea of a totally self-sustained settlement, realized with an integrated power system that will use solar, wind and geothermal energy. The aim of the project is not only to be created an eco-friendly way of living for family holidays, relax or business meetings, but also the synergy of this green solution to be used. The village will use alternative electrical, water, heating and sewage systems.
WIND TURBINES
TMA Wind Blow Away the Competition?
Vertical axis wind turbine technology with concentrating air foils enables TMA to compete with the best horizontal turbine costs at lower wind speeds, while the return on investment is even greater at higher wind speeds, where the horizontal turbines have to shut down. Other advantages are many.
Turning wind power on its side - TMA claims that its system harvests 43-45% of the wind's available energy; conventional propeller-style turbines, in contrast, have efficiencies of 25-40%.
TMA's vertical axis wind turbine introduces competitive advantage
Design creates pull on the back side, contributing to 40%+ wind conversion efficiencies; doesn't kill birds; runs more quietly; and doesn't need to be installed as high, blending better with landscape. Generating costs estimated at 3.5 cents per kilowatt-hour, surpassing conventional energy sources.
And a couple of concepts for ways to merge the vertical turbine into the environment, thus minimizing the visual impact. Also for beautification…
