Kestrel e150 (600w)

The Kestrel e150 has a large diameter 240 mm (9.45”) alternator driven by a 1.5 meter (4.92’) 6 blade, self-stalling rotor that, along with the shunt regulator, eliminates the need for yaw and/or electronic shutdown in high winds. This is an ideal machine for telecoms, military, remote cabins and other similar applications. The 600 is quickly replacing many under-performing and poorly backed turbines in the 300 to 900 Watt range on the African continent. It is available in 12, 24, 48 and 200VDC, user-adjustable outputs Kestrel Wind Turbines E150 (600W)

Specifications

The e150 is one of the smaller turbinesKestrel Wind Turbine e150 (600w) | Green Renaissance in the Kestrel range. Every feature is designed to optimise small scale renewable energy output, making clean energy accessible to everyone. Its cut-in speed is low in order to facilitate continuous generation, creating a reliable, auxiliary energy source that reduces traditional energy costs. The durability of the e150 has been proven through many installations that experience wind speeds in excess of 150km/h. Modern living requires a massive amount of energy that is depleting fossil fuels.

Design

The heart of the machine comprises of a single axial flux permanent magnet brushless alternator. The six blade design is a self-regulating aerodynamic rotor that achieves speed control through blade turbulence, which controls the speed of the rotor with no moving parts and no obtrusive noise. This allows the e150 to be one of the quietest small wind turbines on the market. Being only 1,5min diameter and inconspicuous, it is suitable for urban areas as it harvests energy by harnessing the clean, abundant and renewable resource of wind.

Rated output is the optimal power rating of the turbine at the rated wind speed at sea level. Without a cut-out wind speed power generation is continuous.

The Axial Flux Alternator remains cool while maximum energy is being generated in the form of polyphase high frequency output, reducing inefficiency through energy losses.

The full aerofoil blades are moulded from fibre glass to protect against dust and moisture damage. Rotor turbulence causes self stalling, which allows for almost silent power generation without passive speed control.

The e150 conforms to IEC standards and follows the provisions in the directives IEC61400-2 (small wind turbines).

Applications
