How Does A Endurance 50kw Out Perform A WES 80kw in Realistic Average Wind Speeds In Northern Ireland ?

Take a look for yourself ! - all data is manufacture’s own from their respective websites/data spec’s.

As you can see below the 50kw Endurance makes more power than the WES 80kw all the way up to 9 m/s wind speeds (approx 20mph).

Below is the Endurance 50kw E- 3120 – Blade Diameter 19.2m, with a swept area of 290m²

Below is the WES 80 kw – Blade Diameter 18m, with a swept area of  254m²  

WES 80kw  data taken from here:

Looking at a moderate wind speed site of 6.5 m/s (Above Graph), the largest percentage of available wind is actually around the 6 m/s range, the largest overall percentage of available wind is under 9 m/s.

At a Glance:

@6m/s the Endurance makes  15.2 kw,   WES  11.0kw

@7m/s the Endurance makes  24.8 kw,   WES  17.7 kw

@8m/s the Endurance makes  35.8 kw,   WES  27.7 kw

@9m/s the Endurance makes  43.8 kw    WES  39.2 kw

Using the power curve charts above, you can now understand how the 50kw Endurance Wind Turbine, makes more power – more off the time, in realistic wind speeds!
