Wind Solution Expet
What GHREPOWER customers say:
GHREPOWER has been the perfect choice for us at our farms. Their wind turbines are far superior to any other turbine we looked at...; Plus the support we have received during the installation and even after we have been up and fully operational has been very impressive ... M. Roenfanz, Ventura, IA, USA GHREPOWER has commissioned two 50kW turbines in a public park environment with many challenges. The commitment of the GHREPOWER UK team to deliver this project in a timely professional manner was exemplary. The turbines are fully commissioned, helping reduce our carbon footprint. Craig Dalgliesh, West Lothian Council, UK In our opinion, the Eastwind turbines* have proven to be the most reliable in their class, both from a reliability and performance standpoint... Private Energy Systems, Inc., USA
*GHREPOWER retails under Eastwind in the USA.

The quality of the components and the technology, both in design and construction, place GHREPOWER products on the highest range in the sector L. Tommaso, 3LWind Italy

Return on Investment
GHREPOWER 100kW Wind Turbine
The GHREPOWER 100kW wind turbine offers a very good return on investment, and a very quick payback. The worked example below, illustrates potential income yields at a variety of average wind speeds.

100kW Wind Turbine


Sophisticated Design Concept
The first 100kW wind turbine with gearless, active pitch control and permanent magnet generator design in the world.

Assumptions
The table below estimates the annual energy yield and income from the GHREPOWER 100kW wind turbine. The table assumes the following: Current FIT rate for the GHREPOWER 100kW at 0.254 per kW/h Current FIT export rate of 0.031 per kW/h 50% on-site consumption, with savings from own energy use at 0.12 per kW/h LEC income on energy used at 0.485p per kW/h 95% availability of the turbine for power generation

Optimised Active Pitch Control


Active pitch control technology allows the turbine to automatically adjust its pitch angle during periods of strong wind and capture more wind energy during periods of low wind. It also ensures a steady power output, increasing efficiency. GHREPOWER have a national technical patent on this design.

Smart Multi-Level Protection


The smart pitch control brake, mechanical brake, electromagnetic brake, dump load and active yaw system are intelligently controlled and adjusted under extreme weather conditions to ensure the highest levels of safety and protection. Power Curve
