Hi-VAWT is a renewable energy solutions[buzzword] provider headquartered in Linkou District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.[2] Hi-VAWT has installations in many countries/territories worldwide (Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy,[3] Germany, Poland,[4] Guam, Hawaii,[5] the USA,[6] Jamaica [7] and Canada),[8] and on every continent including Antarctica.[9] The company also a member of Taiwan Wind Turbine Industry Association.[10]
Hi-VAWT's turbines utilize a combined Darrieus and Savonius wind turbine. Savonius turbine is a drag-type wind turbine that perform well under low-wind speed condition, while Darrieus turbine is a lift-type wind turbine that perform best at high-wind speed condition. The vertical axis allowing the turbine to take wind from all directions simultaneously. While the combo-blades provide a self-starting performance while maintain a good working condition in higher wind speed situation.[11]
Locations
[edit]Hi-VAWT business organization was started and is headquartered in Linkou District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. The company also has offices/distributors in China,[12] South Korea,[13] Japan [14] and the US,[15] which serve those individual regional markets.
