50,000W Wind Generator
480Vac, 3 phase, 60 Hz
Atlantic Orient Canada
From 1982 through 1986 approximately 750 Enertech wind turbines were installed in wind farms in the United States and other countries. Because of the sound and simple design of these turbines many are still in operation today. In the 1990s an upgraded and improved wind turbine based on the Enertech was designed and built and is now for sale. The AOC 15/50 is that turbine.
This is an excellent opportunity for utility customers in areas with good wind resources to offset their electric bills and even sell excess power generated back to the utility. This is best suited for customers with large electricity usage because the greatest economic benefit is for the kilowatt-hours (kWh) that are offset by this generation rather than the excess you sell back. The reason is in most areas of the US, power companies only pay you back a fraction of the rate that you pay them for energy use.
There are also Federal and state incentives for wind generators.
Check if your state offers rebates for wind power installations that can offset a substantial portion of the purchase price. Also consider the net metering laws for your state to see how any excess generation is billed.
Quick Facts:
* Towers are typically 82 feet
* Blades are epoxy-fibreglass composite and measure 24 feet
* One AOC 15/50 is capable of producing enough electricity to power 10 – 30 average
Canadian homes depending on the wind resource.
* Available in both 60hz and 50hz models.
* Constant, low speed blade rotation (64 rpm) produces minimal noise.
* Turbine freely rotates to align with wind direction.
* On a site with an average annual wind speed of 6.7m/s (15 mph) the AOC 15/50
will displace approximately 156 tons of greenhouse gasses.
The AOC 15/50 produces energy at competitive rates for distributed generation, village electrification, diesel-based utilities and purchased power displacement for agriculture, industry and municipalities.

NOTE: Output characteristics may vary due to specific site and climatic conditions. Output is based on sea level air density and 60F temperature.
Energy production from a wind generator is dependent on a number of site and installation factors. The largest single factor is the wind resource. An initial estimate can be obtained using the US DOE wind map for your state. Click here for the list of maps.
