Different wind turbines efficiency comparison Power coefficient, C p 0,7 Due to its unique design the VERTI turbine has low starting speed and a few times higher efficiency compared to other small wind turbines. Custom-made Integrated Control Unit allows to gain its maximum efficiency at particular wind conditions.
