This installation is at Maryport Visitors Centre in Cumbria.
A single ground mounted turbine installation usually takes a full day to complete from arrival on site to electrical commissioning.
Installation examples
Key factors when assessing sites:
- Is there sufficient wind to install a wind turbine?
- Will the turbine maintain its performance in turbulent environments?
- Turbines that ‘yaw’ may suffer with frequent changes in wind direction;
- Is the turbine safe to be located next to the public?
- Will it disturb neighbours through noise or vibration?
- Aesthetics – will people like or oppose it?
