     Wren and Mistral Wind Turbines       

See the bottom of this page for Prices

The Wren Micro-turbine is small direct drive micro-turbine designed for use in many difficult and demanding applications. Its aesthetic low profile design, coupled with its unparalleled low wind regime performance and low rotor acoustics make this turbine the ideal choice – whatever your application – From electric fencing to CO2 abatement or off-grid homes.

The Wren Micro-turbine features a fully integrated 3-phase Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) that takes advantage of Neodymium Iron Boron magnet technology. This configuration gives the PMG excellent low RPM characteristics with a very low cut-in speed allowing the turbine to spend more time generating power.

                        WREN MICRO TURBINE                                

 Truly low wind-speed operation. The Wren is rated at only 8m/s instead of the typical 12m/s. This means more kilowatt-hours from average wind regimes.


-Low TSR rotor blades giving excellent performance and very low noise emissions.
 
- Proprietary 3-phase alternator design that operates at low RPM. The WrenMicro-turbine will 'cut-in' at under 350 RPM, whereas competitor products are still free-wheeling until they reach 500 RPM.

- Low cost but heavy-duty construction.


- Roof-mountable where appropriate (roof mounting isn't always the best option)

- Ideal for PV augmentation.

The Wren Micro-turbine has two modes of operation.

1. The unit may be used charge deep cycle battery banks at 12 or 24 Volts DC, which can later be converted to mains AC with use of an inverter or directly run low voltage lighting.

2. Alternatively the Wren Micro-turbine will soon be available with a battery-less Micro Grid Tie inverter that will allow the turbine to be linked directly to an AC ring main without needing any battery storage. The power generated will offset power that you would normally pull of the grid. The Wren Micro-turbine can also work hand-in-hand with Photovoltaic panels to ensure that power is being generated in all weather conditions.

APPLICATIONS

OFF-GRID LIGHTING, WATER PUMPING, ELECTRIC FENCES, YACHTS & BOATS, ROAD SIGNS , BATTERY CHARGING  POWER FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.      * CAN BE USED WITH SOLAR PV PANELS FOR RELIABLE POWER PRODUCTION.

Charge Controllers - a diversion charge controller is required to prevent the batteries being overcharged and damaged. A diversion charge controllers operates by switching on a dump load once the batteries reach high volatges. The dump load then consumes the power from the turbine.

NEW PRODUCTS

Wren Extreme

Wren Extreme is a Wren Micro-turbine variant with key component changes to make the unit perfect for use in marine and industrial applications. Key component upgrades include a new yaw pivot and bearing arrangement to allow the turbine to cope with the large forces involved with a pitching a rolling vessel on the open ocean. Other upgrades include ingress protected slip-rings and anodised bearing housings for protection against saltwater corrosion. A new stator configuration with advanced cooling further allows the turbine to run through 'big winds' without worry of burn-outs or failure.

Wren Guyed Tower Kit

The Wren Guyed Tower Kit is a cost effective, user friendly mounting solution for your Wren Micro-turbine. The tower kit can be installed in as little as 1 hour by a single person and is capable of providing tower heights of up to 7.5 metres. The kit components are manufactured from heavy duty steel which is then powder coated for corrosion protection. Helical earth anchors allow easy fixing of the guy wire rigging which is all provided in the kit. A length of scaffolding pole of 48.3mm steel circular hollow section is needed to provide the main tower section. The Wren Guyed Tower kit can be erected or lowered in seconds giving easy access to the turbine.

Wren Building Mount Kit

This mounting solution can be used to mount the Wren Micro-turbine to an existing structure or building. The mount kit is manufactured from heavy-duty steel, industrial vibration isolation materials, all of which are zinc plated and powder coated for excellent resistance to weathering. The mount kit is designed for a number of fixing options, and can withstand high wind loadings on the Wren Micro-turbine. A main tower length of up to 3 metres can be used by employing standard 48.3mm diameter circular hollow section (not supplied)

Unsuitable for use with friable mortar, sand lime mortar, aerated concrete blocks.
