Hyderabad-based Archimedes to build wind turbine unit near Medchal

Archimedes Green Energy, based in Hyderabad, has drawn up plans to build a wind turbine manufacturing facility near Medchal. This will be able to produce between 600 and 1,000 units per month. According to Archimedes CEO Suryaprakash Gajjala, these turbines will be smaller in size and can be installed on roofs.

It also intends to install approximately 20 wind turbines in public places as a demonstration as well as partially meet energy needs with clean and renewable energy.

It is currently producing them in a leased facility. The company has about 20 demonstration projects in various locations, with some tests also taking place in Korea. Solar panels will be installed on one of the company's two variants to harness solar energy.

Gajjala said that Domestic and commercial users will benefit from the wind turbines. They can provide about 50 to 60% of the energy required. These can be used both off and on the grid.

It could not arrive at the per-unit generation cost or the cost of the turbine because the subsidy component had not been factored in yet, according to Suryaprakash. The location is chosen based on publicly available wind data.

The turbine designs are bird-safe because the blades rotate counter-clockwise, preventing the bird from being sucked into them. The wind turbine's lifespan will be 30 to 40 years, and it will be almost maintenance-free and able to operate in all weathers, according to Suryaprakash, who described it as a Made in India product.

The company received a Korean grant to demonstrate and study the Archimedes Wind Turbine's performance in India's southern states.

According to Suryaprakash, the product is the result of 20 years of research and development by Dutch national Marinus Mieremet, who perfected the technology.

They will be available in two sizes--36 kg and 112 kg and will be made of composite materials. With the three circular blades wrapping around one another, the design resembles a rose. The turbine can be either grid-connected or used off-grid.
