We have developed a new type of wind power generation system that dramatically improves efficiency by concentrating wind energy. This is the small (1-5kW) or medium (100kW) lens wind turbine, which has achieved a 2-5 fold increase in power output compared to conventional wind turbines.Aiming at marine energy development to wind power energy, we installed a hexagonal floating platform with a diameter of 18m in Hakata Bay, Fukuoka, to create a floating island type energy farm mounted with two 3kW lens wind turbines and a 2kW solar panel.
