Helix Wind offers the S594 Wind Turbine. This wind turbine is uniquely designed to capture wind power in a wider range of weather conditions than the conventionally designed wind turbines.
The strong aluminum and steel construction of this wind turbine enables it to withstand extreme weather conditions. This wind turbine incorporates a strong and modular 3D blade design for easy assembling of the wind turbine. The spiral shape of the wind turbine allows smoother power production. The S594 Wind Turbine offered by Helix Wind incorporates a low RPM 4.5 kW peak output efficiency permanent magnet generator that allows easy transition of generated energy into electrical power.
S594 Wind Turbine
The unique spiral design of the wind turbine allows noiseless functioning within 5 dB. This omni directional wind turbine does not use a yaw control. The S594 Wind Turbine offers a swept area of 5.88 m². The vertical axis helical Savonius rotor (VAWT) used in this wind turbine has a width x height measurement of 1.21 m x 4.87 m and the over all height of this wind turbine is 6.0 m. The cut in speed of this wind turbine is 3.6 m/s. This wind turbine does not incorporate brakes for stopping the turbine during excessive wind conditions, only a manual over ride is incorporated to stop the wind turbine for maintenance.
The monopole tower used for the wind turbine is available in height ranges from 4.5 m to 6.0 m and this wind turbine weighs 635.029 kg. For grid connectivity this wind turbine utilizes a 110 VAC - 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz Grid Tied Inverter. For off grid systems charge batteries are offered.
