the problem
As global energy demand rises, renewable technologies are no longer a choice they're a necessity. But while renewables offer cleaner alternatives, most conventional systems still suffer from wasted space, poor efficiency at high speeds, and costly installation.
The chart clearly shows how renewables and nuclear sources reduce fossil fuel dependency and improve system-wide efficiency. Yet much of this potential remains untapped due to limitations in turbine design and deployment.
* Average annual wind speed map of Turkey based on regional wind data.
As seen in the map beside, Turkey has high average wind speeds throughout the year , an untapped advantage. However, most conventional turbines shut down at high wind speeds due to safety limits (cut-off speeds), losing out on some of the most powerful energy moments. Paradoxically, the more wind there is, the less efficient these systems become.
​
At the same time, increasing urbanization narrows the available space for deploying turbines. Larger blades and wide swept areas limit placement options, especially in cities, campuses, or industrial zones where compact and adaptive systems are needed most.
WHAT WE OFFER
Reducing Wake Effect and Land Use:
WindBenders aims to minimize wake-effect losses by using a compact rotor design with a smaller swept area. This allows turbines to be placed closer together, improving land and offshore space efficiency without sacrificing energy production.
Stable Operation at High Wind Speeds:
Instead of relying on longer blades, WindBenders focuses on geometry-based airflow control. This approach improves load distribution on the rotor, helping to reduce extreme stresses and high-wind shutdowns while maintaining stable energy production.
Protecting Wildlife:
By significantly reducing the swept area, WindBenders aims to lower bird collision risk, especially in migration-sensitive regions. This design choice supports a more environmentally responsible wind energy system.
