Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

The wind turbine was designed to maximize energy production versus windspeed:

• For turn on: 3,5 m/s

• For nominal power: 11 m/s

• For automatic brake system: 13 m/s

• Survival: 60 m/s

Vetted Performance Status

Safety

There are some potential hazards during the operation (such as danger of proximity of the blades to objects, humans or wildlife), which can be prevented by using appropriate wiring and not letting the turbine run freely without connection to the battery.

Complementary Technical Systems

A hybrid energy system, such as a solar photovoltaic system, is beneficial in the event of low wind. Bornay also recommends combining solar power with a wind turbine and having a battery bank to store energy.

Academic Research and References

Compliance with regulations

International standard ISO 9001, appliance standards under EC Directives: 89/392/CEE & 91/368/CEE, as well as the Normative of Security in Small wind turbines: UNE-EN-61400-2. Bornay's larger models have been tested with some others under CIEMAT-CEDER Spanish National renewable Energy center for distributed grids - but the 600 model was not part of these tests.
