FlowGen is excited to announce the launch of a new project in collaboration with Munich Airport. Our Mobile Green Center is now providing energy for electric vehicle charging at the airport, marking a significant step towards more sustainable mobility.
FlowGen is pleased to announce its premium partnerships with Schaeffler and EACC of Toray. Schaeffler supplies the generators for our wind turbines, while EACC produces our rotor blades manufactured to automotive standards in series production.
The automotive automated press process of the rotor blades enables high volume production and scaling while maintaining quality requirements.
FlowGen builds turnkey hybrid microgrid systems that are modular and scalable (from kW to MW) by combining its proprietary wind turbine technology with solar, storage and distributed energy resource technologies to satisfy current and future energy requirements.
The FlowGen team uses its expertise and experience in motorsport to transfer know-how relating to lightness and efficiency to the renewable energy industry, developing a small industrial wind turbine system with an ultra-efficient and aerodynamic rotor blade design. The wind turbines are manufactured using automated production processes that meet with automotive standards and thereby satisfy cost and quality requirements. The lightweight construction allows the wind turbine to be integrated into existing architecture.
In addition to fixed solutions for industrial and commercial applications, FlowGen offers mobile solutions that are quick and easy to ship and install.
The FlowGen energy management system combines wind management and plant control for a turbine cluster or entire microgrid. No additional control or energy management is required, although it can be easily integrated into any other common power management system.
Based in Zug, Switzerland, FlowGen is a dynamic company focused on developing, producing and selling revolutionary small wind turbines. We have designed our system according to first principles, exploiting the most advanced analytical tools available.
The levels of performance achieved have allowed us to create a new segment on the wind energy market.
Around the world, people, businesses and countries are striving for a better future. A future that requires sustainable energy. Here at FlowGen, we too want to make a significant contribution to building a greener planet.
Our Projects
FlowGen offers mobile solutions that are quick and easy to ship and install.
The FlowGen wind turbine has nominal power of 10kW. The energy output depends on conditions at the specific location. Due to its high efficiency, the FlowGen wind turbine will produce more electricity than other small wind turbines with the same nominal power at the same location, even at lower wind speeds.
By using location analysis tools developed with external partners that include IT solutions and wind simulations (CFD – Computational Fluid Dynamics), we are able to determine the likely electricity production. We can also calculate the business case during the initial phase of the project in a rapid, cost effective and very precise way to ensure the best possible ROI, with no need for long-term wind measurement on site.
Our turbines are not in direct competition with PV solar panels. On the contrary, the two methods of generation can be combined to achieve an even higher and more consistent output across the same surface area. Solar panels can in fact be placed between our wind turbines.
Compared to solar plants, wind turbines have the advantage of occupying a smaller surface area and also offer the possibility to produce energy during the night.
The FlowGen wind turbine emits around 32dB at a distance of 20 meters and so is quieter than most refrigerators.
Our wind turbine is equipped with a yaw system, a component responsible for orienting the wind turbine rotor towards the wind. Thanks to our own intelligent control, the wind turbine is automatically aligned with the wind direction.
All the relevant wind turbine data is collected and can be viewed via a web application.
As a system provider of turnkey solutions, we always consider the entire project, which depends on the site conditions as well as customer requirements.
FlowGen is focused on B2B solutions for energy intensive sites such as production facilities, logistics centers, EV charging, retail, etc.
