REALIZATION OF A 400 KW WIND PLANT OF A NOVEL CONCEPT

Objective

Demonstration of the technical and technical viability of the modified medium size wind turbine with an increase rated power of 400 kW. Innovative aspects of this realization include : broad range, variable rotor speed, control of the power through yaw, suitable control system and teethered hub. An increase of 25-40% of the annual yield is expected.

The new wind turbine will be design and constructed by AERITALIA and is based on the experience gained by the MEDIT-225 kW machine (see project WE/704/84/IT) and various innovative aspects will be incorporated. The machine will be installed in the province of Oristano on Sardinia. The upwind rotor is 2-bladed with a diameter of 32 m and blades manufactured by DWT (DK). The rated output will be in the range 400-500 kW and therefore an increase of 25-40% of the annual yield is expected. It has been estimated that at the site of the installation, where the mean annual wind speed is 6,5 m/s at 10 m, the annual yield will be 900 MWh. The estimated payback period for the connected plan is 9 years.
