You would have heard of various wind turbine projects that run toward the generation of power by using the naturally blowing wind’s energy. This generated power is then used to run several applications that require electrical energy as an input. For that purpose, the energy is generally transported and fed into the power grid. But, here is a unique and power-packed German design for an integrated wind turbine structure that is termed as Efflux. There are various unique features of this pylon that take its efficiency level to newer heights when compared to the regular wind turbine structures. You would be wondering what is the addition to this pylon that makes it different from other similar structures! Then, check out some of the exclusive characteristics of this power producer.

Efflux integrated wind turbine is directly connected via this structure to the power grid. Its mast is connected to high-voltage lines that help transporting and feeding power to the grid. Such a feature supports a quicker utilization of the generated electricity in different applications. This system gets the power consumed in the least expected time. If the grid would supply this power to factories or buildings, their work will surely go uninterrupted and hassle-free! If it would serve some residential areas, people there will not have to face frequent power cuts! This is a great advantage of such an integrated power generation system that is Eco-friendly, as well as utilizes the natural renewable resource, the wind power.

...The project has pushed the whole structure being set up at a place where maximum wind could be obtained. There are multiple turbine units placed at defined distances and the high-voltage lines help to transport power from all these individual units to a common grid. Efflux framework is so strong that it not only covers various aspects of generating the power by harnessing natural forces, but also reduces the damaging effect in case of adverse environmental conditions. In spite of being such an advantageous system, it is not too complex to be set up. The whole system’s setup would still be easier and convenient as compared to the setup of a huge power plant.
