Overview
Types of wind energy systems
Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines
VAWTRotors are vertical, allowing wind capture from multiple directions. Common designs include Darrieus and Savonius turbines.
- Low yaw requirement
- Suitable for niche sites
- Needs careful feasibility review

How it works
Typical applications
Grid-connected system
Supplies electricity to a building or electrical network through suitable power-conversion equipment.
Commercial buildings, factories and wind farms
Off-grid system
Operates independently of the utility grid, usually with batteries or another backup source.
Remote homes, farms, telecom sites and isolated facilities
Wind–solar hybrid
Combines wind turbines and solar PV panels, often with shared storage and power electronics.
Homes, farms, businesses and microgrids
Wind–battery
Stores excess wind-generated electricity for later use.
Sites needing energy outside periods of wind generation
Capacity ranges
Power capacity categories
Micro
Below 1 kW
Sensors, charging, niche low-power loads
Small
1–10 kW
Homes, farms, off-grid applications
Medium
10–100 kW
Agricultural and commercial facilities
Large commercial
100 kW–1 MW
Industrial and distributed generation projects
Utility-scale

Wind farms and grid-scale generation
Best opportunity
Solar–wind hybrid systems
Wind and solar may complement each other across the day and across seasons, especially when battery storage and coordinated control are included.
Strategic recommendation
Which wind systems should AeroSun Energy focus on?
For AeroSun Energy Private Limited, the most promising early opportunities are small wind turbines, solar–wind hybrid systems, and medium-scale commercial wind applications for agricultural and industrial sites.
A hybrid design is especially attractive because it can combine wind generation with solar PV, battery storage, and smart controls. This provides more resilient supply and helps customers diversify their renewable energy mix.
AeroSun view
1. Small wind turbines, 1–10 kW
2. Solar–wind hybrid systems
3. Commercial systems, 10–100 kW
Important consideration
India-specific feasibility matters
Before selling or installing a wind turbine, evaluate local wind conditions, tower requirements, electrical safety, grid-interconnection rules, and state or local approvals.
Do not assume that a small rooftop wind turbine will generate enough electricity to justify its cost; nearby buildings and obstacles can significantly affect performance.
Key conclusion: a wind-resource assessment is essential before recommending a system to a customer.
