R&D PROJECT
development of a patentable solution
WindTAK Sp. z o.o. is a Polish company based in Łódź, specializing in innovative solutions for wind engineering. Among its key products are turbulence generators (turbulators) manufactured using additive technologies, which can increase a wind turbine’s annual output by up to 5%. WindTAK also offers 5GVG technology – a system for full monitoring of turbine condition that enables significant reductions in operational costs.
The main goal of the project, carried out in close collaboration with the client’s team, was to develop an innovative solution that would maintain or improve the product’s performance and functionality without infringing on patented technologies. The project involved a comprehensive analysis of existing market solutions, identification of critical patent-protected components used by competitors, and the development of alternative turbulator designs.
Project goal
Development of an innovative turbulator solution while circumventing competitor patents.
Project results
- designed an innovative 5G VG turbulator with the potential to increase energy output by up to 8%, featuring a modular structure that simplifies both installation and maintenance
- developed a patent application providing broad protection while strategically avoiding infringement of existing competitor patents
