Gaia-Wind manufactures wind turbines for light industrial, agricultural, commercial, municipal and residential use. Our clients include working farms, educational institutions, large home owners, offices and other commercial premises. To date, there are over 200 worldwide Gaia-Wind installations, representing over 1000 years of combined operational history.
Gaia-Wind turbines incorporate over 20 years of Danish wind industry design experience and offer features that are usually only found in larger, utility scale turbines. They include:
- Direct, Inverter-less grid connection with an asynchronous induction generator
- Redundant safety systems that stops the rotor in excessive wind conditions
- Low constant rotor speed for quiet and efficient operation
- Advanced controller that monitors and manages turbine operation, performance, safety and power quality
Another outstanding feature of Gaia-Wind turbines is their oversized rotor design. This allows the turbine to capture up to 80% more energy than other similarly rated equipment, enhancing project economics and maximizing the return on your investment. The large rotor also ensures optimum performance in low to moderate wind speed regimes (10-12mph).
A Gaia-Wind turbine generating around 30,000 kWh of green electricity per year, will offset around 17 tonnes of CO2 emissions from existing energy generation. This is sufficient to bring the carbon footprint of the average four person household back to zero (household energy use + car + air travel).
