Accelerate Wind is an early-stage startup that is working to revolutionize rooftop wind energy in the commercial and industrial spaces by drastically lowering the cost of small wind turbine technologies. This includes development of a patent-pending powertrain concept which drastically reduces the cost of wind turbine power electronics through intermediate energy storage in a small flywheel, and development of a system to capture increased wind flows at the edges of commercial building rooftops. The technology is being developed in collaboration with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory as a part of the Chain Reaction Innovations incubation program
