80 kW Wind Turbines
Turning Wind Into Profit
WFR is a Dealer Installer of the 80 kW WES18 mk1 and the 250 kW WES30 mk1 Wind Turbines. Our products are the result of over 20 years of evolution in wind turbine technology.
WES wind turbines are operating in many different locations worldwide. They are characterized as being robust, reliable and easy to install in remote places, which enables our mission, “To Bring Renewable Energy Everywhere.”
We believe that wind energy solutions can and should be applied in virtually any situation. As long as there is sufficient wind and a need for a reliable and renewable source of electricity, WES has a wind energy solution that works for you.
Our aim is to help you make use of a renewable source of energy so that the environment and our future generations will benefit as well. In other words: TURNING WIND INTO PROFIT.
Included in the stimulus bill, the Federal Government has approved a 30% grant (or tax credit, at the tax payer's choice) for the installation of a wind turbine. In combination with the USDA it is now possible to receive 50% of the cost of a system in grants (as well as guaranteed loans for the remainder). The incentive environment is the best it has ever been, so now is a great time to install a project within the 2-year time frame allowed.
SOME WES APPLICATIONS:
• Schools/office buildings
• Poultry/cattle/dairy farms
• Resort hotels
• Golf courses
• Agricultural businesses
• Manufacturing plants
• Remote villages - island power systems
WES18 mk1 80 kW Turbine
The 80 kW WES18 mk1, known as the “farmer’s turbine”, has the reputation of
being durable and reliable.The typical two-bladed rotor has a unique hinge
system and a passive blade-angle adjustment.This unique mechanism
needs very little maintenance.
Over 600 units have been installed
at (agricultural) businesses, small communities and at coastal and
mountainous sites. Its weight and size allow for easy installation at
remote locations. Installation without a crane is possible.
With the 80kW WES18 mk1 connected to your farm, business, school, golf club, resort or any other location, you can harvest the wind and generate your own green energy. In other words, “produce it where you use it”!
This powerhouse can produce, depending on the wind availability, an average of 180.000 kWh/year of reliable and renewable energy and qualifies for the Production Tax Credits and Grants.
It takes little imagination to see the enormous reduction possible in your electricity bill!
State of the Art
The 80kW WES18 mk1 is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” control cabinet with IGBT converters and a user and maintenance friendly IPC interface. The control system has effective functions, including dynamic output control. It assures high power quality and low harmonics and enables secure operation, even in weak grids. A Remote Monitoring System is optional. The WES18 is also available as a stand-alone or Hybrid Wind/Diesel system with a lattice tower.
Key Points
QUALITY
Where applicable, the specifications of the cooperating Dutch utility companies and the Dutch national authorities have been a guideline for the design and construction of WES wind turbines.
These specifications are accepted and confirmed by many international authorities and belong to the world's most severe and progressive regulations in the field of wind energy.
