Looking for professional advice on renewable energy?

Wind power units and wind energy converters can provide up to 100% of your renewable energy needs. Also known as Aerogenerators, windwheels or windmills, wind powered electrical generators attached to these devices can help you to go off-grid easily.

Some common types of reliable windmills include:

• Vertical axle windmills
• horizontal axle wind turbines

The type of windmill rotors you use can greatly effect the amount of renewable power you can generate. Wind blades come in all shapes and sizes including:

• Slow rotating windmill blades
• Fast rotating wind turbine sails
• Wind turbines with three-blade rotor
• Windmills housing two-blade rotor

We supply wind turbine situation advice, so when you want to know the best position for a windmill, just fill out the form on the right and we would be only to happy to help.

From high output wind mills to low-output wind turbines, you'll want to make sure you have a durable wind turbine tower. Off-grid windmills and domestic wind turbine siting is important to get the most energy from your renewable energy product. High kW powered wind mills are best situated in northern regions of the UK where the wind blows hard, whereas low torque wind turbine models are better situated in areas that have low but constant wind speeds. Windmills situated upwind are of course better than wind turbines placed downwind yet wind energy can be harnessed even on a housing estate. The power performance of wind turbines in a valley is one of many wind turbine situations we can advise on.

Wind powered electricity generation

Most people look for strong wind turbines that are also capable of being grid connected wind turbines. The benefit of this over off-grid windmills is that excess energy can be exported back to the grid when you have fully charged your battery packs.

The most popular wind turbines we get asked about are:

• Horizontal axis wind turbines
• Fast rotating wind turbines
• Slow rotating windmills
• Ultra quiet wind turbines
• Windmills suitable for high wind environments

You will no doubt be looking for a very efficient wind turbine so that as little renewable energy is wasted as possible. Variable speed transmission windmills are often the most efficient as well as computer-controlled wind turbines. They can handle a wide variety of wind speeds using wind speed sensors/monitors to constantly optimise the blades for low stress on the wind turbines

Wind Turbine Parts

Fabricated wind turbine structures can suffer in high stress environments, so sometime you will need:

• Replacement wind turbine shafts
• Wind turbine servo motor refurbishment
• direct drive motor repair

We can advise on all these issues and more. Windmill blade flexing can be a problem as well as wind turbine stability in turbulence.

Standard 5 or 10 kilowatt wind turbines are often seen in fields close to properties, however smaller turbines can be attached to other things as they don't cause excess vibration like their bigger counterparts.

• Caravan mounted wind turbine
• Small wind turbines built for use on boats
