An Oregon Renewable Energy Company
V-LIM Rear ClosedRogue River Wind, Ltd (RRW) has developed a vortex assisted low profile ducted fan (V-LIM) to capitalize on windy rooftop real estate. The V-LIM further combines the above rooftop effect with an additional 20% gain by inducing a pressure drop or Bernoulli Effect behind the fan. The V-LIM properly situated on a rooftop or steep hillside extracts approximately 6 times the power per swept surface area of an equivalent size turbine not unlike a jet turbine.

Making the argument in favor of rooftop wind turbines - Anyone who has installed solar panels on a roof and had to take into account and engineer for the potential of a panel to act as a wing knows rooftops are windy places. Learn more...

V-LIM Hybrid Wind Power conversion unit
V-LIM

A self-contained turbine/generator the V-LIM incorporates aerodynamic features of jet engines with rapid response directional steering foils for quick indexing into the oncoming wind and a proprietary vortex generator aft of the turbine to extract more power than conventional open bladed horizontal axis wind turbines of equivalent swept surface area. read more.

SMart Micro-grids Wide Scale distributed energy
Renewable energy microgrid

Decentralized power systems are small-scale power generation plants (typically in the range of 3-10,000KW) used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement to the traditional electric power grid. Decentralizing power, producing power at the point of consumption, eliminates the huge environmental footprint associated with centralized power production and transmission as well as wheeling losses and distribution expense.more. .
