Venger Wind & SWG Energy Install World's Largest Rooftop Wind Farm In Oklahoma City
Venger Wind and US renewable agency SWG Energy recently set up the worldâs largest rooftop wind farm on the top of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), Oklahoma City. The project had Venger Wind developing 18 V2 vertical axis wind turbines on the medical centerâs roof as per OMRFâs sustainability policy of developing a 'zero emissions' research tower.

The omni-directional wind turbines are incorporated within the building design and exactly positioned to gather wind from both the North and South areas of the rooftop farm. With this installation, the project becomes the largest building in the US that boasts of a wind energy system. Compared to other wind turbines, the V2 turbines are huge. Standing tall at 18.5 fet, they warrant 4.5 kW each. The turbines start generating power at 8.9 mph, which is below Oklahoma's average wind speed.
Here's a video that demonstrates the installation of these huge wind turbines-
