Horizontal-axis wind turbine 3 kW with tower

Horizontal-axis wind turbine 3 kW with tower. A small or medium wind turbine for sites with a good wind resource. Below about 5.5 m/s mean speed at hub height it rarely pays: Plantmargin recommends measuring the wind for 12 months first.

Key features

• Rated power: 3 kW
• Cut-in: 3 m/s
• Standard: IEC 61400-2

Typical uses

• Remote and off-grid sites with strong, steady wind
• Pairing with solar: wind is often stronger in the afternoon and evening

Connecting to Plantmargin

The controller connects over Modbus RTU or TCP to the Plantmargin gateway. Plantmargin reads wind speed, power and energy every 10 seconds through the edge gateway, stores it for years as hourly figures, draws it against its normal band, and uses it in cost per unit, alarms and verified savings. The installer pack for your plant lists the exact register or channel to use.

Installation

• Foundations and tower designed for the site's wind and soil; installed and commissioned by the manufacturer's certified installer.

Warranty and support

• Manufacturer's warranty, usually 12–24 months from delivery; the exact period is stated on your quotation.
• Supplied with the datasheet and manual; calibration or test certificate where the product has one.
• Installation, commissioning and connection to Plantmargin can be quoted with the product.
