Minnesota outfit SheerWind has signed a licensing agreement with Mark Luke Wind Energy to market and deploy the Invelox wind power system in South Dakota.
The deal is SheerWind’s first in the US and sixth globally, the company said.
It said the Invelox technology captures, concentrates, accelerates and harvests wind power in a funnel system before delivering it to multiple turbines safely housed at ground level.
SheerWind said the system allows electricity to be produced from low wind speeds of two metres per second in locations close to the end user.
This eliminates the need for complex power and grid systems, the company said.
