X-Wind-Technology The economic energy transition
To start a “real” and sustainable energy transition, we need a renewable energy source which is…
! World wide available and grid independent
! Comparable to operational costs of fossil fuels
! Profitable even without subventions
! Able to supply energy with a high capacity factor
! Acceptable for the majority of the population /
relevant stakeholders (animal rights activists,
conservationists, local inhabitants etc.)

Windspeed (m/s)
Factor 2.4
Factor 3.1
With increasing height the windspeed rises and thus a huge positive energy effect is generated
Wind energy rises with
the cube of windspeed
2 times higher windspeed =
8 times more energy!

Additionally higher capacity utilization through almost constant wind availability at heights >200m
