Buyer Guide-2 |
| What size turbine would I need for my home?
Homes use approximately 9,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per
year (about 780 kWh per month). Depending upon the average wind speed
in the area, a wind turbine rated in the range of 5 to 15 kilowatts would
be required to make a significant contribution to meet this demand

| Entegrity
Wind Systems Inc |
| Entegrity Wind Systems is a leading manufacturer of intermediate
scale wind turbines with installations world wide. The EW15, a 50 kilowatt
wind turbine generator is specifically designed to supplement electric power
generation for large buildings, industry, commercial operations, large farms,
communities and remote locations.
The EW15 is an ideal investment to combat rising utility rates by enabling
owners to secure their costs for electrical energy now against much higher
future costs. The EW15 has a thirty year design life and is very easy
to operate and maintain. Our team of dedicated and experienced engineers
is committed to make the EW15 efficient, reliable and affordable.

Maintenance Service |
As the wind industry continues its rapid evolution, many technologies
that were once state of the art are now classified as obsolete or difficult
and expensive to maintain. We at EMS leverage our intimate understanding
of most all commercial wind turbine systems deployed in North America,
new and old, as we develop products designed to enhance or replace these
aging technologies and improve asset performancem. |

| Westwind
Wind Turbines |
Westwind is an internationally renowned manufacturer of high quality and
robust 3kW, 5kW, 10kW and 20kW wind turbines. Westwind have supplied turbines,
towers and turbine controllers for use in many different applications around
the world since 1984
Westwind turbines enjoy the reputation as one of the most heavy duty and
robust turbines available. This makes them the ideal choice for remote area
applications where maintenance is expected to be infrequent and or costly.
The turbines are designed for strength, simplicity, and low maintenance
as the major design criteriaAll Westwind wind turbines consist of three
blades, up wind of the tower on a horizontal axis and attached directly
to a sealed permanent magnet generator.Rotor over speed protection is achieved
via auto furling. The turbine can also be manually furled at the base of
the tower. Furling describes the action of the tailboom pivoting around
to be at right angles to the axis of rotation. This action turns the blades
out of the wind and thereby reduces power output.Previous Westwind designs
in the 2.5 to 10KW range utilised pitch weights as an additional control
measure. The new blade profile used in the mk2 machines as well as being
more efficient is mechanically much stiffer. This means the pitch weights
are no longer necessary. They contributed significantly to the aerodynamic
noise of the blades so now our machines are barely audible |

Wind Generators |
| Marlec manufacture small battery charging wind turbine generators
The Rutland 503
Rating: 25 W in a 22 mph (10 m/s) wind
Voltage: 12 Volts DC
Rotor Diameter: 0.51
Cut In Windspeed: 6.6 mph (3.0 m/s)
This compact wind generator, is ideal for use on yachts or touring caravans
etc, where ease of installation, a light weight and size are important
considerations.
With a turning radius of 255mm and a unique outer ring around the blade
tips it can safely be installed on a confined boat deck. The machine is
centrally supported so performance is unaffected by a pitching sea. Stainless
steel fasteners and marine grade materials are used throughout.
It starts charging in 6.6mph (3.0 m/s) winds and will give a maximum
output of over 60 W.
It is designed to mount onto 1.25" (31.7mm) internal diameter aluminium
tube and an adaptor is available for permanent land based installations
using taller towers
