The PowerCone is a wind turbine retrofit that attaches directly to the hub and co-rotates with the rotor. According to Biome Renewables, developer of the PowerCone, it increases annual energy production by up to 13%. Its biomimetic design passively channels incoming wind onto turbine blades to help them capture more of the wind that’s already blowing. By addressing root leakage, it lowers cut-in speeds, increases torque and reduces loads.
