The wind-lens turbine consist of shrouded diffuser which increases the wind speed at rotor, developing electric power even in low speed wind. Energy crisis is one of the major problems facing the countries globally. One of the methods to overcome energy trouble is to use the energy available efficiently and also to reduce the energy that is being wasted. The fact that non-renewable sources of energy become cause of pollution and the increased ecological hazards and their rate of depletion has required to use of nonconventional and renewable sources. Therefore to adopt the methods of energy recovery is required. Energy recovery is a technique used to reduce the vitality input to an overall system by exchanging the energy from one system of an overall system to another. Wind lens turbine is the next generation small wind which can be installed anywhere. It has significant reduction in wind turbine noise, concentration of wind energy, compact and highly efficient, adaptable to the surroundings, highly safe systems and significant reduction in birds strike.
