Technology of today's WTGs is matured, but base load capacity must be increased to reduce investment needs in infrastructure . maxcap - next level windenergy!
Founded in 2014, windwise offers various technical services in the wind energy sector. Since then, the company has developed further innovations in the field of wind energy in close cooperation with its growing customer base. In addition to partial solutions and services (system simulation, component and software development) for the control and operation of individual wind turbines and wind farms, the company also develops and designs complete wind turbines for use in the onshore sector.
Successive improvements based on the know-how and extensive experience of the employees have led to professional and robust solutions, which have been incorporated in particular into the windwise’s own product, a base-load-optimized wind turbine with a rated output of 2.3 MW and a rotor diameter of 141 m, called maxcap. This wind turbine achieves a high number of full-load hours even at low-wind-speed sites and is therefore particularly suitable for net-metering-projects and applications with special requirements, such as electrolysis projects, seawater desalination, etc.. Market entry in Germany has taken place and the pilot plant has been in operation since the beginning of 2024. Further projects in Germany are under development.
windwise offers the 2.3MW wind turbine product as a turnkey product in Germany, but also worldwide. Alternatively, the technology is also offered as a licensed product. The company supports a potential licensee in setting up the manufacturing through to series production.
The product is currently being further developed for worldwide use. The output and rotor diameter are being increased, but the characteristics of high full load hours and base load capability are being consistently pursued. In order to expand the business to international markets, the company is now looking for partners from the renewable energy sector worldwide as customers and/or as discussion partners to discuss international requirements and challenges. Target customers are:
- Medium-sized industrial companies that want to enter the production of complete wind turbine generators or components.
- Project developers, which are looking for wind turbines with the described characteristics of a high number of full load hours.
- Users who want to increase vertical integration in local markets or need to demonstrate local value creation and are interested in the license model.
- Industrial end consumers with high energy consumption who want to reduce their energy costs and CO2 emissions by generating their own electricity from renewable energies.
