Wind Turbine Generator

Wind turbines are very reliable as long as you have two or three of the blow hards selling them standing in front of them to ensure a constant wind...

Dear guest, thanks for that first comments.

Hi Roman,

There are about ten thousand windmills covering the prairies round about me, they each have the name "Suzlon" written on them.

A farmer in the next county financed one for the city and recouped in about three years time.

I suppose it depends upon the average wind speed at about one hundred feet up from the ground where the blades spin. We have average 25mph with 55 not uncommon.

Suzlon is an India company try google them

Hi bwire, thank you very much for a very informative response, I will check as you mentioned.

Kind regards

Rule of thumb I'm familiar with is $1.00/watt capacity, so one megawatt around one million $--not sure if that is all-up or equipment only--from anecdotal observation, area west of Palm Springs, CA seems to be in constant disarray, but in part due to flaky way the farm maintenance is done [I'm told that those who manage that farm cannibalize from one to another, depending on who's coming out to look at their "investment"]--no useful data on brand reliability...

The imagies of your island tell me you will need Wind Mills with a braking system because over speed can burn out the bearings and break the wings off the mill. You can but 2000 watt wind mills from China for about 1,800.00 each + with inverters.

The best thing is to setup a business to buy them to get the wholesale cost.

Go to www.alibaba.com and setup an account with the site then you can acess bids from different wholesalers. The tower come with some but some big towers must be purchased seperatley.

Hi dadw5boys, really appreciate your effort and contributed information, i don't know that about alibaba.com system, only now when you mentioned. that's great!! I will.

Well how about it Rpman how did the Wind Generators work out ? Feed back would be nice.

Dear ALL,

Thanks for all of your response on the forum thread that I posted, dad5wboys, I got that quotation from Alibaba.com and we are now in the process of clarification on some issues, such as listed queries on the above. they quote me USD 1,500,000.00 for 780kW unit and installed including shipping and testing commissioning and staff training. if I look at the investment roughly estimated ROI should be 18 to 24 months.

I waned to sugggest that you paint the blades on the wind mill so the birds could see the blades. The Propeller will spin so fast that birds can't see them if they are the colors white or blue.

I have been watching to research from anywhere that will limit the bird kills. One guy placed a speaker on his and plays a loop recording of a Hawk and Eagle screams.

Hope this helps.

Hi dadw5boys,

Many thanks for you suggestions, i will take it into accounts.

Kind regards
