Northwind 100 Wind Turbines from Northern Power Systems

Northern Power Systems manufactures wind turbines incorporating permanent magnet direct drive technology. The Northwind 100 wind turbine has a rated power capacity of 100kW. The wind turbines are available in gearless designs and they perform efficiently in low wind speeds. This wind generator is capable of generating power at a low wind speed of 6mph. The permanent magnet direct drive technology increases energy capture and perform better than conventional gearbox designs.

The Northwind 100 wind turbine is designed for isolated and remote areas. Its power converter design offers power to local grids. This wind generator incorporates fiberglass reinforced blades with an aerodynamic design. The Northwind 100 is capable of generating sufficient electricity even at moderate speeds and saves the costs on utility. It can be mounted on a standard 37m turbine tower for efficient operation. With the use of turbine blades, towers and gearless design, this wind turbine from Northern Power Systems can generate energy smoothly without creating noise.

The rotor diameter of the Northwind 100 wing turbine is 69ft and the hub height is 121ft. This wind generator has a rated electrical power of 100kW with 480V AC, 60Hz and 3-phase power supply. Since this turbine incorporates direct drive, it has no gearbox. The cut-in wind speed of the wind turbine provided by Northern Power Systems is 7.8mph. The Northwind 100 utilizes permanent magnet generator. It is suitable for various applications such as schools, businesses, farms, universities and municipalities.
