Developing modular wind energy
for a more affordable and sustainable future

The Myriad Turbine

Myriad Wind Energy Systems is an award-winning startup developing the Myriad Turbine - a truly modular wind turbine for the distributed wind turbine market. The Myriad Turbine reduces your energy bills with cost-effective, on-site, sustainable energy. As the cost of grid-supplied energy rises, the need for cost-effective energy solutions is growing. 

The Myriad Turbine uses numerous off-the-shelf turbine units supported on a modular support structure. The Myriad Turbine is more cost-effective, transportable, and handleable than conventional single-rotor turbines. 

Benefits

  • The Myriad Turbine significantly improves the cost-effectiveness of wind energy. The multi-rotor design benefits from fundamental scaling relationships, which reduce material costs on key components, such as blades.  Smaller components increase site accessibility, leading to further savings through improved logistics and reduced crane use.  

  • The Myriad Turbine has built in redundancy. If one rotor fails, the others still operate. Combined with an efficient maintenance system, the Myriad Turbine produces more power, more of the time.  

  • Myriad's innovative technology overcomes the challenges of rural access and high transport costs associated with the very large components of traditional single-rotor wind turbines. By unlocking previously dismissed wind sites, Myriad enables the harnessing of untapped renewable energy potential, paving the way for a more sustainable future. 

  • The Myriad Turbine takes advantage of numerous aerodynamic effects to increase energy yield compared to single-rotor turbines. The improved aerodynamic efficiency, combined with an efficient maintenance system, leads to significant gains in energy yield. 

  • Myriad’s design philosophy focuses on simple components that are easy to manufacture. This lowers the barrier to entry for manufacturers, resulting in a diverse supply chain with local content.  

  • The smaller rotors of the Myriad Turbine enable the development of sustainable blade materials combined with sustainable manufacturing and recycling processes. At Myriad, we believe that wind turbines should not only produce clean power but also utilise a fully circular economy to reach all sustainability goals. 

Collaborators and Funders

About us

All three co-founders of Myriad have been involved with innovation in wind energy, in one form or another, over the last 8-9 years. They initially met in 2017 at the start of their PhD programme at the Wind and Marine Energy Systems Centre for Doctoral Training.

With a keen eye for commercial opportunities, and building on their complementary skillsets, the team used the Conception X start-up accelerator programme in 2021 as the first springboard for what Myriad is today.

Myriad Wind Energy Systems was registered in August of 2021, buoyed by the success of winning the Conception X Accelerator DemoDay. Since then, the team has been working tirelessly to make Myriad a success, already achieving significant milestones on their journey. The award-winning team has now grown to five members in total, and we will continue to expand.

The company is currently based in Stirling, Scotland. Scotland is at the forefront of wind energy globally, with an array of companies developing wind farms and wind supply chains across the country. It is, therefore, the ideal place to build the business.

Powering the Future

At Myriad, our vision is to spearhead a transformative shift in the wind turbine industry through our cutting-edge modular wind turbine technology. As a leading provider of next-generation solutions, we are driven by the goal of fully unleashing the power of wind energy. 

Myriad will fundamentally reshape the global energy landscape and revolutionise wind power supply chains, delivering increased profitability for all stakeholders involved.
