Objetivo The project consist of the establishement of 4 aerogenerators with a total power of 2.4 MW directly coupled up with the national network of Electricity of France (EDF). It will permit to deliver the annually energy for the consumption of several hundred users. The estimated production is about 6.4 GWh. This project would be reduce the energy dependence of the island because the amount of fuel saved would be about 700 tons. The rejects of sulphured and carbonel compounds in the air would be less important. In economic terms it represents an economy of five millions of french francs.By this project, the builder NORDEX becomes involved in a new design of assembly machines specialy adapted to the islands and the mountains areas. It will prevent from the use of a crane. In effect, it would be necessary but very difficult to brig a crane of hundred tons by boat. NORDEX develops a system named "Self Erecting System". This experience is a real innovation in an insular context because such, a system does not exist for a machine of 600 kW. The fact of applying this system to define again the concept of the turbines and the towers which will have to be modificated in the purpose. Moreover the supplier NORDEX, more filed to very irregular winds. This blade will be employed in the aim of checking the results obtained with the first tests.
