- Catalogue of Small Wind Turbines - 2009 -

Introduction This catalogue contains information about wind turbines that are manufactured and distributed world wide. The information is a basic representation of the turbines, please be aware that there are many factors and regional variables that prevent an accurate comparison between different models. Prices in particular are not comparable as they may or may not include the control system, tower, cables, shipping, taxes, etc. This data is subject to change since many of these machines are constantly undergoing testing and development. As of April 2009 this information is accurate to the best of our knowledge, however we can not guarantee that all information in the following pages is up to date. For more information about a wind turbine contact the company listed or find a distributor in your area. The companies listed are primarily manufacturers, however, if information is only available from a distributor their company information accompanies that of the turbine even though it is produced elsewhere. This catalogue is not a promotion of any of these companies or products. Information comes from the companies listed, not from direct knowledge or testing of these machines. All information and photos included in the following pages are credited to the manufacturers/distributors. Many thanks to all those people who provided this information, their help is very much appreciated. The page by page arrangement is alphabetical by country and alphabetical by company name within each country. The index has turbines arranged by model name according to size (rated output in watts). Beside this information is every model’s swept area (square meters), the physical size of the rotor. There are 211 turbines described in the following pages, produced by ninety-one manufacturers from twenty-nine countries. If any of these pages are to be reproduced please reference this publication as the source. The international system for writing numbers has been used in the following pages. The only punctuation mark used is the decimal point, commas are omitted when separating or spacing numbers. This catalogue is a third edition with revisions planned for the future. If you have information about wind turbines that are not described here, or corrections to existing pages please contact the Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy.

The Ampair 6000 and Ampair 600 are intended primarily for land and marine coastal use. The Ampair 100 and the Ampair 300 are designed for permanent installation on yachts as a fit and forget unit, and all models have many other applications such as weekend chalets, radio repeaters, navigation equipment or anywhere that requires 12, 24, 48V battery charging. The Ampair 6000 and Ampair 600 can be connected to the normal 220/240V electricity grids. The Ampair 6000 is large enough to power many substantial houses or farms in rural settings, or public buildings such as schools or doctors offices. The "Aquair" towed turbine generator for yachts is also available from Ampair.
