While cities are looking into sustainable energy sources, British tech EvoPhase has launched an AI-design Birmingham Blade-an innovative urban wind turbine. Unlike most urban wind turbines, it designs for city wind conditions and industries. It offers much promise as a game changer in terms of power generation within the city.
AI-driven city-oriented wind turbines for groundbreaking urban energy
For decades, the design of wind turbines has been optimized mostly for high-speed winds typical in a rural or open area. Conventional wind turbine blades were designed with an operational speed of 33 feet per second. However, not so in cities like Birmingham.
The average wind speed is much lower, usually around 12 feet per second, and the turbulence from the tall buildings has really offset the efficiency of traditional designs. EvoPhase’s innovation is bringing AI and evolutionary design techniques together to create a turbine…
