Cyclopic Energy specialise in the development of small scale (less than 100 kW) wind power installations, independent of manufacturer, using both horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines.

Because of their size, small wind turbines are extremely sensitive to their environment. Trees and buildings can dramatically reduce the available wind resource, and turbine placement is critical. Cyclopic Energy have developed a unique analysis method that both measures and models how the local wind resource is affected by complex terrain, buildings or vegetation. Our services are technologically innovative, using advanced flow simulation software (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to provide scientifically sound advice.

We use this tool to design (microsite) wind turbine installations, optimising the layout to maximise energy yield while respecting site constraints such as visual integration, or potential noise and vibration issues. We predict mean wind speeds, wind power density, and other factors such as turbulence, wind shear and non-horizontal winds, which may affect the performance and fatigue life of the wind turbines.

In summary, we give you all the technical information you need to make sure that, once installed, your small wind project performs to expectation, whether it is building-mounted on an office tower in the CBD, on a country ridge, or in an industrial estate.
