Exro has developed and patented a unique method of “self-optimizing” electric motors and generators to reduce losses in high variability applications. Our first commercial application is wind power, where we are collaborating with numerous turbine makers to convert their existing geared turbines to direct-drive using our Variable Input Electrical Generator (VIEG).
The benefit is an immediate increase in the turbine’s annual output along with a significant reduction in downtime and annual maintenance. In addition to wind power, our technology platform has a compelling value proposition for run of river and marine power, as well as electric vehicles, industrial motors, portable power and other inherently variable applications where reducing losses equates to a material economic benefit.
Applications
Though Exro’s primary focus is on the MW power market, the VIEG presents broad applicability and has a wide range of other applications. Click on the links below to learn more.
