PRODUCTS - 20kW Wind Turbine
The 20kW is the latest edition in the family of Westwind turbines. It was released for commercial sale in mid -2003 after an extensive three year field testing stage at Murdoch University's Energy Research Institute in conjunction with ACRE.
Like all Westwind turbines, the 20kW is designed for trouble free installation and operation in remote areas. Our tow up tower design allows easy installation & maintenance without the need for large cranes normally associated with wind turbine installation.
The tow up tower design allows economical installation in cyclone prone regions where the turbines can be easily lowered to the ground ahead of any cyclone activity. This was demonstrated in a recent project with western power. For details of this project utilising three Westwind 20kW turbines please download the press release courtesy of Western Power. "Exmouth Advanced Mini Windfarm" project summary report
The project is a direct benefit of Westwind's close association with ACRE. This association has allowed a machine to be designed and constructed with leading edge technology throughout especially the generator, and power controller.
Please download the specification sheet or contact us at Westwind if you are interested in further information on this machine.
Westwind engineers are currently developing a 30kW turbine. This turbine is based on the 20kW design but optimised for sites with a relatively strong wind regime. It is expected that the 30kW will be commercially available during the first quarter of 2004.
