The Ventis Energietechnik GmbH is a former wind turbine manufacturer based in Braunschweig and was among the founding companies in the sector. The company went bankrupt in 1996.
history
The company was founded in Braunschweig in 1989 and, from 1990 onwards, manufactured around 70 Ventis 20-100 turbines (100 kW with a 20 m rotor). In contrast to the three-blade rotors that are common today, Ventis relies on two-blade rotors. The first prototype of the Ventis 20-100 was erected in Veltenhof (Braunschweig) in spring 1990 .
It has also developed a 5 kW system, as in larger numbers alone systems in Iran were exported. At the end of June 1993, Ventis built what was then the largest wind farm in Africa . Ten Ventis 20-100 were installed here in Hurghada ( Egypt ).
The prototype V12 (500 kW with 40 m rotor) was not delivered due to the bankruptcy of the company in 1996, but it was able to provide some research results on the sound development on the rotor. The technology of this system formed the basis for the first DeWind system as a three-blade version. A two-blade version of the V12 was further developed by Nordwind Energieanlagen from Neubrandenburg as NW 40/500. Eleven NW 40/500 turbines are located in two wind farms in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, three of them in the Plauerhagen wind farm .
The company continued to operate under a new name as Ventis energy and went bankrupt again in 1998, a fate that the subsequent Ventis AG was not spared.
