Wind Turbines

A wind turbine converts wind power into energy which is converted to electricity for use as domestic wind turbines and commercial scales. Wind electricity is widely regarded as the most environmentally friendly method of producing green electricity. Wind is a free alternative energy source, and particularly abundant in the U.K.

Wind turbine technology has evolved greatly, the main systems available are either a vertical axis wind turbine or a horizontal axis wind turbine. The vertical is now regarded as the most efficient system, as well as being the quietest, which is a relevant benefit to any home wind turbine.

In order to harness windpower effectively the correct size of turbine will need to be installed. In many cases there will be enough surplus electricity to supply back to the grid and earn money from your wind generator. Even a small wind turbine can create significant amounts of electricity, and are frequently used in conjunction with other electricity generators such as solar power.

The horizontal wind turbine is the traditional style of wind generator. The range available is 400w and 600w applications. The installation and application is incredibly simple on these two products and full manuals for the installation are attached.

These robust models have been designed to operate through extremes of temperature, from -30°C to +60°C, in a high humidity, high winds, salt water spray, and sand spray as well.

The turbine blades were designed by aerodynamic experts to give incredible efficiency and therefore a smooth continual operation to limit wear to the moving parts. Manufactured from high density precision engineered plastic the blades create very little sound and have a very low start-up wind speed requirement.

In order to ensure the highest efficiency for the wind turbine, the sighting of the turbine is important. Generally the higher the turbine the more efficiently it will work. Other factors which have an impact on the efficiency are the turbulence of the air flow. Buildings and obstacles create turbulence and therefore locating the turbine away from any likely turbulence will help generate increased levels of electricity.
