Special Features
Intelligent Power Management System
Airdolphin GTO is an authentic SWT (Small Wind Turbine) that can continue to capture wind energy from light breeze to violent storm. This truly seamless power generation starting from wing speed of 2.5 m/s (5.6 mph) never cuts out* under very strong winds. When the wind speed exceeds 20m/s (44.7 mph), Airdolphin continues delivering power under controlled roration speed.
* Turbine operation may be forced to stop due to high temperature inside the turbine when high power generation well above rated power output of 1.1 kW continues for a certain period.
Airdolphin GTO Energy Production
Capturability
"Capturability" is a new indicator created by Zephyr which shows how much energy can be captured from the nature. It is an absolute indicator, unlike static wind turbine performance on the test bench you will often see in the manufacturer's specifications, which reflects the wind turbine performance and wind characteristics at a real site combined. Airdolphin GTO has been developed in an optimal design concept so that the capturability is maximized, so will be the annual energy production (AEP). Key elements that ensure exceptionally high capturability of Airdolphin GTO are: advanced aerodynamic design/materials of the blades, sophisticated turbine power management technology and the state-of-the-art turbine units.
