WES50

‘Bringing renewable energy everywhere’


The WES50 with a rotor diameter of 20 meters is especially designed for areas
with lower wind speed (class III). This two bladed wind turbine with a new
cover is a reliable 50 kW midsize wind turbine with a high performance.
The mechanical part of the WES50 is based on the original proven design from
1983. For the electrical part, power conversion and control, the latest technol-
ogy is used. The WES50 is also available as Hybrid Wind/diesel system.
