Objective
A 30 KW wind turbine for the complementary heating requirements of a school heated by solar energy has been constructed by CISET and is installed on a hilltop near Arlon. The aim is to build an easy rotating wind turbine which consists of various commercial components in order to achieve a cost effective but also reliable wind turbine and which will be able to produce electrical energy at sites where the wind is not very promising.
Machine erected in December 1986. Initial tests and regulations are currently being carried out.
A 16 m diameter, 30 KW nominal power wind turbine has been constructed on a hilltop near Arlon by the Centre d'Innovations Sociales, Economiques et Technologiques (CISET) for the complementary heating requirements of a school heated by solar energy. It is an upwind rotor with two variable pitch blades. The height of the tower is 26 m based on a 4 m high concrete foundation. The machine consists of commercially available components i.e. tower by BORAINE (BE), blades by STORK (NL), generator by LEROY SOMMER (FR) etc.
The estimated annual yield is 30,000 KWh due to the fact that the site of the installation is not very windy. This is also the reason for the high cost of the energy generated by the windturbine, 19,96 FB/KWh.
It is estimated by the contractor that the total cost of the windturbine would drop to about 1,6 million BF if the machine was mass produced; the payback time would then be 14 years for similar sites.
