SCIROCCO - High Efficiency Ø5.6m/6kW Professional Wind Turbine'

The Eoltec Scirocco is a 5.6 m diameter rotor, 6 kW output professional-scale wind generator ideal for remote sites with medium power needs, such as small farms, houses, large homesteads and especially rural or village electrification, sea water desalination, direct electrical water run-of-the-wind pumping.

Unlike most of its competitors, which use furling technique to decrease the cost at the detriment of performances and reliability, the Eoltec Scirocco WT is designed and realized without compromise, using state of the art components, centrifugal stall overspeed regulation device, slewing rings for blades attachment and yawing, 100% sealed direct drive permanent magnet generator. Design and calculations have been made according to IEC 61400-2 design rules (IEC 61400-1 for class II maximum wind speed).

The Eoeltc Scirocco is characterized by low rotation speed, a very high efficiency, more particularly in the lower to medium wind speed range which is prevailing most of the time. This is the result of the conjunction of an optimized 2 blades rotor, an efficient direct drive PM generator and a variable speed management system combined with the maximum power point tracking controller.

Noticeable points, energy production starts from less than 3m/s, rated output power is obtained from 12 m/s and remain constant up to the maximum windspeed (60 m/s), thanks to the overspeed centrifugal full span stall control device. These unique features make the Eoletec Scirocco unit the most powerful WT of its class, without equivalent on the market, with a real energy production which is superior to those of some 7m diam. wind turbines. Tip speed is limited to 70m/s for low noise and low wearing.

The high availability of Eoltec Scirocco WT power production makes it a reliable source of cost effective renewable energy throughout the years and weather conditions. Its superior low/medium wind performances opens new possibilities for the application of medium size wind power in distributed power production with minimal environmental impact.

An exclusive range of various dedicated power electronics allow to respond to a wide range of applications such as:

• battery charging
• direct heating
• stand-alone AC distribution
• automatic diesel/grid coupling
• island AC grid (micro grid)
• utility grid feeding
• water pumping
