Vertical Sky® an Agile Wind Turbine
The Vertical Sky® Technology
Vertical Sky® by Agile Wind Power is a world premiere: a megawatt-class vertical-axis wind turbine for the local energy generation of the future.
The Vertical Sky® Technology is a true innovation. In 2019, a large, high-power and economically scalable vertical-axis wind turbine will be installed and certified for the first time ever. The Vertical Sky® A32 wind turbine will be the smallest product in a series of wind turbines ranging from 750kW bis 1,5 MW. The rotor blades of vertical-axis wind turbines rotate around the vertical axis.
The first Vertical Sky® large wind turbine by Agile Wind Power outperforms conventional horizontal-axis wind turbines in distributed energy markets. The patented technology is the result of long-time Swiss research and development activities.
The revolution is based on the rotor blade pitch control. In real-time: a continuous and self-optimizing control of the rotor blades during operation.

The Vertical Sky® Advantages
Distributed power supply near populated areas with reduced environmental impact
Due to the extremely low noise emissions and the easy logistics for transport, installation, operation and maintenance a high environmental compatibility is guaranteed. As a result, Vertical Sky® can be installed near populated areas. Thus, it is also possible to develop difficult terrains, in which existing technologies cannot be used. This is the main reason why Vertical Sky® is interesting for distributed power supply.
Reduced operation costs ensure a high economic efficiency. The light components enable an easy transport without considerable field damages. Furthermore, a Vertical Sky® wind turbine needs neither oversize transport nor special mobile cranes. A convenient installation system preserves the resources of mankind and nature.
The silent technology for economic power production
An investigation carried out by the SBB (Swiss Federal Railway) has shown, that the potential area to be used for wind farming is four times bigger with Vertical Sky® compared to traditional wind turbines.
Horizontal or vertical wind turbines – maybe a question of aesthetics? In countries with distributed energy supply Vertical Sky® is an interesting alternative as the vertical megawatt giant can be installed in the direct vicinity of factories, communities and industrial plants due to its numerous advantages. It can be seen as an addition to conventional wind energy plants – above all in regions with poor connection to existing grid solutions, which have no access to conventional technologies.
