WES18 80 Kw
WES BV
manufactures 3 types of grid-connected wind turbines ranging
from 2,5 kW to 250 kW. These turbines can be connected to the
meter at a house, school, office, apartment building, farm,
factory, hotel, bungalow park or other location where the
electricity consumption falls within the production capacity of
these turbines. If a larger turbine(s) is needed, WES can
provide other alternatives.
The 80 kW
and 250 kW turbines are also ideally suited for use in small
wind farms (up to 2.5 MW), where the electricity produced is fed
directly into the grid.
The WES18 is a
well-known Dutch 80 kW wind turbine. The combination of variable
speed, a mechanical passive blade pitching system and a hinged
blade mounting system is unique in the world.
The WES18 is a
sturdy and user-friendly wind turbine. It is characterised by:
• easy maintenance
• high reliability
• easy installation, even at hard to reach locations
• low loads on the gearbox and shaft
• the AC/DC/AC principle which allows the turbine to follow the
grid current.
Over 500 WES18
wind turbines have been installed world-wide. Many
businesses consider this as the ideal
money-saving
instrument.
You can easily erect the WES18 at any location near a house,
farm or village and connect it to the grid. The WES18 is
especially suitable for:
• farmers & isolated businesses
• diesel generator users
• small electricity grids
• isolated/island communities
The WES18 starts producing electricity at wind speed of 3 m/s
and is already economical feasible with an average wind speed of
5 m/s. Rotor diameter is 18 metres.
At an average wind speed of 7 m/s (moderate breeze) a WES18 wind
turbine can produce up to 200.000 kWh (200Mwh) per year.
