Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy which is then used to drive a generator that converts this energy into electricity. The UK has more usable wind power than any other European country and large scale wind turbine farms on and offshore will become a major supplier of electricity to the national grid in the next twenty years.
Wind turbines come in two types; horizontal axis and vertical axis. Horizontal axis turbines are the more familiar ‘windmill’ type where the blades rotate in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis and the turbine is dynamically rotated on its tower to face the wind.

Modern large scale wind turbines have rotor diameters in excess of 100 meters, tower heights in excess of 300 feet and are substantial structures weighing hundreds of tones. These projects require very large capital investments and lengthy periods of planning approval including local consultation and impact assessment on the environment, aviation, aesthetics and wildlife.

Small scale wind turbines are particularly suited to off grid, mobile and combined wind & PV applications. The PV/wind power combination is effective because wind power availability is highest in winter when available solar power is at its minimum and vice versa.

Micro wind turbines are most often used to charge batteries which run small scale electrical applications in remote locations, on caravans, villas and boats. Typical applications are lighting, electric fencing, sensing equipment, road signage and electric pumps.

Small scale wind turbines vary in size with a range of models available, from less than 100 watts (W) up to 50 kilowatts (kW).Smaller, less than 100W, micro turbines, are often used to charge 12 volt (V) or 24V batteries, for use on stand-alone systems. Turbines ranging from 0.6kW to 50kW can be used to provide electricity generation for individual houses and businesses, with rooftop models varying from 0.5kW to 2.5kW in size.

ZYTECH AERODYNE’S BLADE TECHNOLOGY
Zytech Aerodynes aerospace grade uni-directional carbon fiber blades are not to be
confused with carbon matrix or carbon reinforced plastic blades.  Unlike plastic with powdered  carbon  blades  that  bend  and  flutter,  the  carbon  fibers  in  the  Zytech Aerodyne blade are 7 times stiffer than common steel, and carry the loads from tip to root.
This allows the Zytech Aerodyne LAKOTA to harness far more energy annually than
comparable  similar  wind  turbine  generators.    In  addition,  the  increased  output substantially  lowers  the  overall  cost  of  energy  despite  a  slightly  higher  initial purchase price.


TOWER STRUCTURES

Most complete tower kits on the market
Superior structural design
Most advanced light weight tilt base available today
Unique load transport tilt up /gin pole tower system


REGULATION AND CONTROL
The electronics perform several functions to ensure maximum output and safety for
the  user.    The  regulation  control  maintain  a  load  on  the  alternator  at  all  times preventing turbine overspeed, regardless of the charge condition of the battery.
You may select among a variety of Regulation and Control Device from cost effective
Rectifier  Module  to  advanced  Manual  or  Automated  Load  Divergence  Center  to professional Wind Turbine Flight and Battery Charge Controller.
If your application requires a quiet and powerful wind turbine and is in a place with
low as well as potentially high winds, then consider the Zytech Aerodyne LAKOTA.
