Objective To demonstrate the economic attractiveness of wind turbines installed in low wind speed regions.Innovation lies on the higher economic efficiency, compared to previous Suedwind wind turbines, due to increased size, optimized aerodynamics and cheaper construction of the rotor.A 30 kW HAWT with 12. 5 m of rotor diameter is going to be installed in Berlin and to be connected to the local grid. The flap hinge rotor is made of glassfibre, reinforced by epoxy resin and polyurethane hard foam core. This way of construction results in lower production cost, better and easier transportation, easier erection and higher economic efficiency for future plants produced in series. Due to low and medium winds prevailed over the specific site, proper choice of the transmission ratio will be made. The anual yield is estimated at 75. 000 kWh.
