wind field
1.
/’wind/fi:ld/
noun 1. An area of land with a cluster of
high efficiency, energy-producing
wind turbines made by Windjoule Ltd.
Powered by Sussex Dictionaries
Wind Field One is a first of its kind
renewable energy generator powered by
revolutionary Windjoule low impact wind machines to
produce an Installed Peak Capacity of 1.17MW from just two Hectares.
This an opportunity to invest in the future of power generation
at a manageable entry point
with a projected return of 10% per annum for 20 years
and retaining a pro rata equity stake in the ownership.
Wind Field ONE Limited
The Proposition
Wind Field One (The Company) is offering shares for sale to Personal and Corporate investors. Personal investors will benefit from annual dividend payments equal to 10% of the amount invested. Corporate investors will benefit from
carbon credits and ESG compliance.
All investors will receive shares issued pro rata of the target figure of £10,000,000.
The Company will be wholly owned by the Investors.
​
Output.
The proposed site at Balblair has an average wind speed of 8.5 m/s.
The estimated average yield of Wind Field One
would be in the region of 5,800 MWh per annum.
The projected power output will be reliable because the Wind Field aggregates the performance of multiple machines.
​
Costs.
Estimated cost of installation. £9,977,500
​
This is broken down as follows:
​
​Site survey

​
Ground rent per annum. £25,000
Planning
In the UK the scale and height of conventional wind turbines determines that they automatically qualify as a Major Planning Application which means that a
public consultation is required.
This is a very expensive and time consuming process which can take 3-5 years with no guarantee of success. This makes it very difficult to plan and build a wind farm.
​
A conventional 1MW turbine is 60 Metres to the centre and has a blade diameter of 60 Metres. The manufacturers recommended spacing between conventional turbines and also a Planning requirement is 10 times the blade diameter and 5 times blade diameter to the boundary.
One 1MW turbine therefore requires a minimum of 28 hectares.
​
To qualify as a Minor Planning Application the land area has to be limited to two hectares with a ceiling height of 15 Metres.
Windjoule machines are drag based and can be densely sited resulting in
78 machines on 2 hectares, in other words a Minor Planning Application
which can be heard in 8 weeks without a public consultation.
​
Seventy eight Windjoule machines give an installed peak capacity of 1.17MW.
​
On shore wind harvesting in small Wind Fields close to the existing grid dramatically reduces all the costs associated with installation bringing a huge improvement to the Return on Investment.
NASA did a ten year study of worldwide wind resources to establish monthly and annual averages, including at 10 Metres above ground as a height reference point. We have used their published results at 10 Metres to determine the overall efficiency of the Windjoule system on this particular site.

Windjoule Limited Patented Innovation
The Windjoule energy machine is a vertical axis drag differential device.
It is the result of blue sky clean sheet thinking, designed to make use of the available UK
on shore wind resource.
The UK Average Mean Wind Speed is 5 metres per second, conventional wind turbines produce their rated power output at 11-14 mps.
It works by leveraging the wind collected by the sails in power mode against a small amount of aerodynamic friction caused when the sails are parallel to the wind in return mode.
The sails are free to pivot to the most efficient position.
Wind tunnel testing of ¼ scale prototypes at Cranfield University in 2009 showed an advantage of 5 times more power over conventional turbines, of the same size.
At 10mph wind speed the tip speed was measured at 9.7mph
which demonstrates how great the differential is.
The originality of the invention is reflected by the grant of a European Patent.
​​
Land, the Real Limiting factor
The limiting factor on shore in the UK for renewable power generation is land.
Windjoule machines offer a 16-1 power output advantage over conventional
wind turbines on any given site.
