Technology
These German made wind generators define new standards for micro wind turbine technology. They fulfill the highest professional requirements and can be operated completely unsupervised even under extreme climatic conditions.

The aerodynamic rotor control system adjusts the pitch angle of the blades, similar to large wind turbines, putting this little 350w turbine in a class of its own. The mechanical controller is fully integrated into the hub and works without expensive electrical or hydraulic components.

The controller automatically limits the rotor speed even at extreme wind velocities and protects the wind turbine from over speed. It also guarantees smooth operation under all weather conditions keeping the power output constant as can be seen from the power curve below.

Generator
The permanent magnet brushless, synchronous, generator is especially adapted to the aerodynamic power characteristics of the rotor. High-grade Neodymium magnets are used for optimum efficiency. The three-phase alternating current is rectified internally.

All electrical components are properly dimensioned for high surge currents, low thermal loads and high durability. The aluminium generator housing provides perfect heat dissipation, with stainless steel shaft bearings being lifetime lubricated and sealed against humidity and dust by low friction seals.

Materials
These turbines are entirely made of high grade and corrosion-proof materials. All mechanical components are integrated into sealed housings and are effectively protected against dust, salt and humidity. The housings and the wind vane are made of saltwater-proof aluminium alloy with additional powder coating. All steel parts like shafts, axles, bearings, bolts and nuts are made of stainless chromium steel. The rotorblades are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics.

Although designed specifically for the marine environment this wind turbine is perfectly at home in the back garden or on top of a mountain. Combined with some solar (photovoltaic) panels this can give the user free renewable energy all year round.
