Lets Compare A Redriven 10kw Wind Turbine – To A Gaia 133 11kw Wind Turbine – Both Turbines Available In Northern Ireland / Ireland

In this blog post, we will compare various stats, power curves & swept area of  the Redriven 10kw wind turbine, and the class leading Gaia 11kw Wind Turbine, both turbines are available in Northern Ireland & Ireland.

Swept Area & Blade Diameter: 

Gaia 133 11kw Swept area: 133m – Blade Dia: 13m

ReDriven (10kw) –  Swept area: 51m -  Blade Dia 8m

(why is swept area so important?… find out here) 

Blade Rotation Speed:

Gaia – 56 rpm (fixed speed)

ReDriven 10kw  >200 rpm.

Power Curves* at a glance… 

@ 5m/s wind Gaia – 2.8kw     ReDriven 10kw – 1.75 kw          

@ 6m/s wind Gaia – 5kw          ReDriven 10kw – 2.3 kw         

@ 7m/s wind Gaia – 7.3kw      ReDriven 10kw – 3.75 kw         

@8m/s wind Gaia – 8.9kw       ReDriven 10kw – 5.1 kw         

@9m/s wind Gaia – 10.4 kw    ReDriven 10kw – 7.25 kw   

Think the above, sums up the Gaia 11kw Wind Turbine performance  nicely….

Cut Out Speed:

Gaia 133 11kw – 25m/s 

 ReDriven 10kw – 18m/s 

Redriven Power Curve:  Data taken from here

Gaia Power Curve: Data taken from here

MCS Listed: 

Gaia 133 - Yes

ReDriven – No

Power Curves* – data & turbine output best represented where manufacture data is not available.

Note: The  11kw Gaia turbine  is the only only small wind turbine in the world, that currently holds the coveted Danish HB stamp of approval.
