About VerVent

VerVent B.V. is a technology development start-up with a dedicated focus at the offshore wind industry. A core team of VerVent specialists has completed the concept design of a novel drivetrain for large-scale Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). This VerVent 2.0 concept offers a highly competitive, well-scalable high-speed geared drivetrain solution for future-generation offshore turbines in the 10 – 16MW+ range.

Essential elements of this HAWT configuration are re-applied in an equally innovative Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), design characterized by a split rotor with counter-rotating upper and lower section.

Starting points for the VerVent drive train concept were to limit the number of innovations to a minimum, and reduce technological risks related to a new turbine design as much as possible. The main philosophy behind the VerVent concept is to mainly use existing, proven subsystems and components and yet realize significant optimization in wind turbine drivetrain design. The results are a patented, robust designs with a low risk profile. We focuss on industrialization by leveraging on the existing supply chain.
