It may seem simple to compare wind turbines by their rated power, which is normally specified by the manufacturer as the maximum power the turbine will produce (e.g. 55 or 80kW). This however is often not the best comparison, as what really matters is the energy that the wind turbine will generate each year (AEP), which is a factor of many different things..
Did you know that an Endurance 55kW will outperform a WES 80kW Wind Turbine in average to moderate wind speed sites. To see a power graph comparison click here.
Estimate Annual Yield
The Endurance E-3120 turbine is configured to give an optimal yield in moderate wind speed sites i.e. those with an annual average wind speed in the range of 4.5- 8.0 m/s. As such it complements the wind conditions found in many rural areas of UK & Ireland.
