Technology
The AEROGRID® system
Zero-rotary aerofoil oscillation + integrated sun tracking. Patented hexagonal ducted panels harvest turbulent ground-wind through rapid aerofoil oscillation. Gusts of 4 m/s are abundant across ~80% of the globe.
Mechanism
No rotating components
Rather than a rotor swept by steady high-altitude wind, AEROGRID uses aerofoils that oscillate rapidly in response to turbulent gusts at ground level — the wind that exists where people already are.
- No rotating components — oscillating aerofoils
- Modular panels — urban, highway, airport, industrial
- 25+ year warrantied lifespan
- Daily sun tracking boosts solar up to 30%
The Hex Unit is the platform’s building block. Roughly 12 Hex Units make up a 25kW array; each carries its own aerofoil set and can be serviced individually without powering down the array.
Configuration
Example: 50kW Wind-Solar Hybrid Array
Footprint: 30m L × 3m W × 8m H. Integrated sun tracking auto-adjusts daily to boost solar efficiency by up to 30%.

Problem & solution
Why existing renewables leave energy on the table
The problem
Traditional renewable solutions face significant limitations:
- Conventional wind systems cannot economically capture turbulent ground-level gusts.
- Solar generation stops at night and requires expensive battery storage for 24/7 operation.
- Large renewable installations require substantial land and infrastructure investment.
- Grid operators and customers seek more stable, predictable renewable generation profiles.
The AEROGRID solution
AEROGRID combines:
- Patented oscillating aerofoil wind technology
- Integrated solar generation with daily solar tracking
- Hydraulic energy buffering and grid-friendly power conversion
- Modular, scalable architecture for urban, industrial, transportation, and utility applications
The result is a renewable energy platform capable of harvesting both wind and solar resources while delivering a near-continuous 24-hour generation profile.
The measurement gap
The world has been measuring the wrong wind
Conventional wind relied on MET data averaged over long intervals — a smooth profile that hides the real energy in ground-level turbulent gusts.
What MET data shows
- 1-hour averages flatten gust energy
- Smooth profiles look commercially weak
- Devices designed for the wrong wind
What was missed
- Ground-level turbulent gust energy
- Vortex paths and micro-events
- Abundant usable wind in populated regions
Case study
Advancing Green Airports
Airports sit on exactly the wind AEROGRID is built for — open, unobstructed ground where turbulent low-level gusts run all day beside land that is already in operational use.
Our case study examines onsite low-level wind energy generation at Edinburgh Airport: the resource available at ground level, how it maps onto airside land, and what onsite generation means for an operator working toward net zero.
