Aerogenesis has designed an advanced, low cost small wind turbine suitable for grid-connection as well as for remote power applications. Standing on an 18 metre high tower, it features two blades (five metres in diameter), an integrated controller/inverter for direct grid connection, a disk brake for emergency stopping, as well as improved designs for its gearbox, generator and controller. As a result, it is able to generate 5kW at 10.5m/s. It is expected to significantly outperform current market leaders on price as well as performance.
The turbine is the product of a 15-year research program of the Wind Energy Group at the University of Newcastle, one of the principal research institutions internationally in the field of small wind turbines. Newcastle Innovation have licenced the patented controller technology to Aerogenesis Australia Pty Ltd.
