Installed Power per tree 10 800 W Nominal Power 5868 W Power per Aeroleaf 300 W Number of leaves 36 Vue du dessus Inspired by nature, the WindTree is a complementary electrical produc8on system, based on a small ver8cal axis wind turbine called Aeroleaf®. This innova8on captures all types of wind in urban or natural environments, whether turbulent or laminar, strong or light.

Each Aeroleaf is made of a synchronous generator with permanent magnets. The generators developed by New World Wind have a stator (copper winding linked to an electronic card) and a rotor made of two plates supporting the magnets. Simply initiated by the rotation of the blade, without any belts or gears, the magnets create a magnetic field, generating tension and alternating current (AC). To allow for the addition of each Aeroleaf power, it is switched to direct current prior to the final AC generation. Thanks to the electronic card developed by New World Wind, the producion of the current...

The WindTree is a steel structure (trunk and branches) on which 36 Aeroleaf® are installed. The Aeroleaf are all independant, which facilitates both produc8on and maintenance as each turbine can be monitored without stopping the overall produc8on (electrical assembly in parallel) and without risk (low voltage 48V).

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SCHEMATICS New World Wind provides an electrical cabinet compliant with the electrical standards in France/Europe. We will comply to your country requirements. The Electrical cabinet is made of: •  A babery, allowing to temporarily regulate the electricity produc8on to limit peaks and solely for short 8me needs. It is not for storage. •  A specific inverter dedicated to selfconsump8on that connects directly to the customer's main switchboard (TGBT). •  All the security systems required for lknHg duygjb y commissioning (fuse wire, switchgears, lightning conductor and...

The Areoleaf aerodynamic profile is op;mized for the lowest wind speed, with a produc8on threshold lowered to 2.5 m/s (wind speed minimum value from which the turbine is in opera8on). For safety reasons, the Aeroleaf incorporates an electromagne8c brake that triggers automa8cally when the wind blows too hard Power curve per Aeroleaf Relation Voltage/Power/SpeedRPM In addition to their very low starting threshold, the Aeroleaf have the advantage of having a perfectly quiet operation, due to the small radius of their blades (little air brew) and the lack of gear (no sound).

The WindTrees can be installed in various environments. NewWind is able to support its customers to define the best loca8on, with considera8on to spa8al requirements and wind availaibility. The customer is responsible for the realiza;on of the tree anchorage. The data necessary for the construc8on of the concrete block are provided by NewWorldWind upstream of the civil works. The interface between the anchor and the tree is via a reserva8on template provided by NewWorldWind. The following responsibili8es are excluded from NewWorldWind scope and shall be managed by the Customer: •  Civil work...

The WindTree doesn’t require any administrative approval prior to conduct the work (French requirements, other countries to confirm), because it’s a wind system of less 12 meters. The site works will start upon confirmation the site readiness as per a document to be signed-off by the project owner. The metallic structure and the Aeroleafs will be delivered and temporary stored on site. the site must be accessible to a crane truck 12 t and 2 telescopic plahorms required for handling parts. A 15m2 area shall be cleared for the storage and an area for the lifting truck shall remain accessible...

The Windtree is based on the concept of on-site genera8on and direct consump8on of the electricity in the connected building/area. CLIENT CUSTORMER FACILITIES ELECTRICAL CABINET surge arrester differen8al circuit breaker disconnector The Windtree is connected to the local grid through the NewWorldWind electrical cabinet. A dedicated space should be prepared for the cabinet, within a maximum distance of 20 meters. In addi8on to the WindTree and its electrical cabinet, NewWorldWind is also providing the electrical wires between the WindTree and the Cabinet. The overall installa8on is compliant...
