The 1500W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Test Bench, developed and supplied by Atto Labware India, is a high-capacity renewable energy training and research system designed for universities, R&D centers, and advanced renewable energy laboratories. With a low start-up wind speed of 2 m/s and full 360° omnidirectional wind capture, this system demonstrates large-scale wind-to-electricity conversion. Equipped with a three-phase permanent magnet generator, electromagnetic brakes, and an advanced controller, it provides comprehensive performance analysis under varying wind and load conditions. Its robust construction and test bench integration make it ideal for hands-on experimentation, hybrid energy studies, and practical training.
