Kestrel |
Why is this Good? |
Speed Control |
Furling |
Pitch Control |
Power sustained over
time = more energy |
Power Output |
Deflects in higher than
rated wind |
Does not deflect |
Power output stays the same at all wind speeds and over rated wind speed
because of pitch control |
Generator Type |
3 Phase PMG |
Axial Flux brushless
generator |
Low maintanance with few moving parts |
Energy Size |
Up to 35% less Energy
due to Furling |
35% more energy due
to suatained output |
Low start-up speed assists this increased production |
Manufactured |
Most manufactured in
America/China |
Manufactures under
strict ISO systems
with CE certification |
Robust system that even survives offshore |
