Objective
The aim of the project is to demonstrate leading European innovative small size wind turbines concepts - in this project 1 turbine in GB, one in Eire and one turbine in DK.
Proven, GB :
Innovative concept : Gearless PMG with variable speed, stand alone operation in high wind areas and turbulent sites.
DK- Miljoe, Kolibri 11 :
Innovative concept : Teetering hub for load reduction, grid connection/stand alone option in low wind areas.
OPERATION CONTEXT :
Proven, GB : 6 kW, 5.6 rotor, 3 blades, down wind, gearless PMG, can operate in variable or fixed speed mode. Free coning flexible blades, passive pitch regulated, rotor able to operate for extended periods in highly turbulent wind conditions. Blades are ice and corrosion resistant, quiet operation.
2 turbines are situated in :
- Tiree - on grid, old folks home, on flat Western Scottish island.
- Leitrim - off grid, farmhouse with 4 holiday cottages in Mid Eire.
DK-Miljoe : 11kW, 13m rotor, 2 blades, down wind, teetering hub, grid connection/stand alone option in low wind areas. The wind turbine is installed in connection to a farm in Jutland, DK.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS :
Proven : Proven manufacturs small size wind turbines for GB, IR and countries worldwide. Energy production per year and payback time : Tiree - 20000 KWH/10 years - Leitrim - 14000KWH/5.5 years.
DK- Miljoe : Was established in 1992 and has taken over 2 other developer companies of small size wind turbines. DK-Miljoe now sells 5, 11 and 22 kW wind turbines and has 12 employees.
Energy production is 47000 KWH/Y with a payback time of 6.4 years.
MONITORING :The following elements are included in the measurement and evaluation programme : Wind speeds - Evaluation of the wind condition of the sites - Energy production - Technical problems - Utilization of the energy produced.
Data equipment : PC with a screen, AD card, 2 power cells, 1 power cell and 1 water gauge, Modem.
