Kestrel e300i (1kW)

The next generation e300i exemplifies the beauty of sophisticated aerodynamic design. The e300i is compact and unobtrusive making it suitable for urban living. The e300 is suitable in all wind classes and has a low start-up torque that requires minimal wind to generate energy.  Modern living demands more applications that require energy usage. Every feature of the e300i optimizes renewable energy generation, increasing energy efficiency and cost saving.

The three aerofoil blades, with a diameter of 3.0m, are managed by a passive pitch control system that allows the e300i to continuously generate usable energy in wind speeds that exceed rated wind speed.  This is one of the factors that contribute to the e300i being one of the best machines in its class in terms of overall energy harvest on an annualized basis. The e300i advanced design moderates noise emissions effectively, making it an inconspicuous power source in all installations and environments.

Design

The three aerofoil blades, with a diameter of 3.0m, are managed by a passive pitch control system that allows the e300i to continuously generate usable energy in wind speeds that exceed rated wind speed. This is one of the factors that contribute to the e300i being one of the best machines in its class in terms of overall energy harvest on an annualised basis. The e300i advanced design moderates noise emissions effectively, making it an inconspicuous power source in all installations and environments.

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. Rated output is maintained by limiting the output using passive pitch control in high winds, which prevents over speeding inefficiencies.

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. The e300i conforms to IEC standards and follows the provisions in the directives IEC61400-2 (small wind turbines).
