OSPREY GR-1
The OSPREY GR-1 Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is a state of the Art wind turbine designed by ATR SA PTY (Ltd) that is specific focussed on the urban environment. It’s noiseless and safe operation even at extreme wind conditions and its aesthetic appearance makes it most suitable for Home and Business installation alike. The Osprey GR-1 is generating three phase AC power even at relative low wind speeds.
Suitable for charging 12,24,36 or 48 Voltage Systems.
The Osprey wind turbine solves many of the issues associated with traditional HAWT or “propeller” type design and due to the unique Vane design and the notable absence of sound, the Osprey cannot over speed and will continue to operate even at extreme winds. The traditional horizontal wind turbines, in most cases, need a complex breaking mechanism of some sort to reduce revolution to avoid blade shear and thus reduce power output at strong wind condition when this is the time you want to harvest the wind and not slow down. Due to the design of the Vertical concept wind turbine the Osprey GR-1 only requires a 1.5 meter square footprint and can be stacked in multiples without interference of each other if more power is required.The relative light weight of< 65 Kg enables the installation on Roofs, side of Buildings and on Communication Towers.
For the Osprey GR-1 to operate efficiently the Mast height or installation height should not be lower than 9 meters, also have no close objects that may reduce the wind such as Trees or Buildings blocking the wind. The concept of a VWAT allows harvesting the wind from all sides without stopping for reorientation to the new wind direction, hunting for wind, unlike the common horizontal wind turbines and regardless of the wind direction will keep on operating at peak even in turbulent wind condition. The Maintenance free design, only one moving part, saves costs on operational maintenance expenditure and therefore the Osprey GR-1 is most suitable for remote installations. View technical data
