The Winds of Change: Digital Manufacturing Testimonial from a SMM 

Dr. Dawn White, a serial entrepreneur and innovation leader, explains how advanced modeling & simulation tools have helped her alternative energy company remain competitive during these tough economic times.

Accio Energy has developed a wind technology that requires no moving parts and will scale easily from small communities up to the largest offshore wind farm, all at utility competitive costs.

A SMM in southeast Michigan, Accio uses high performance modeling & simulation tools to track billions of charged droplets moving through an electric field in order to understand how to drive up performance of their novel “turbine-less” electrohydrodynamic wind energy technology. This helps them predict results and improve on their product, enabling them to bring the modularity and flexibility of solar technology at the low cost of big wind.
