Benefits
Robust:

Design: The patented Proven Flexible Blade System enables the turbine to generate power in light or strong winds. The unique system, a combination of innovative design and the latest techniques in advanced composite technology, allows the blades to bend and flex. As the wind gets stronger, the blades twist to reduce their aerodynamic efficiency. This lets the Proven Energy turbine maintain a high output even in the fiercest storms, unlike many turbines which need to stop generating power to protect themselves at high wind speeds. The blades also regulate their speed, preventing damage if the load from the turbine is disconnected through a power cut or electrical fault.

Low Noise: A Proven Energy turbine is designed to minimise noise and maintenance. It has a direct drive generator, which operates without a gearbox. The generator load is continuously monitored to keep the blades rotating at a low speed, whilst optimising power output. Compared with other modern small turbines, the blade tip speed of a Proven Energy turbine is low. This means that noise is reduced substantially. All that can be heard is the swish of blades turning in the wind, which is virtually unnoticeable. But don’t just take our word for it - Find a Turbine and arrange a visit to an existing turbine near you.

Low Maintenance: Proven Energy controllers are designed to run the system automatically and display power output from the turbine. The power connectors and turbine brake are easily accessible at the base of the mast. There is no need for specialist skills. On installation you will receive an easy-to-follow user guide, which gives you all the information you need. We recommend regular maintenance checks for optimum performance. These can be carried out by a local distributor. All Proven Energy turbines are available in three standard systems, which manage the use of the electricity generated.

1. Grid Connection - Electricity is fed directly into your fuse box or distribution board, providing power to your premises. Any surplus electricity produced may be exported to the grid and sold to an electricity provider, depending on local regulations. Convenience and the opportunity to sell excess electricity have made this the most popular option. For more information on local regulations, contact us, fill in a few details and a local reseller will be in touch to answer your queries.
2. Battery Charging - Energy produced by the turbine is stored in a large battery to provide a power supply. This is most beneficial in remote locations which are not connected to the grid, or which rely on a diesel / oil generator. Installing a turbine can reduce fuel consumption by up to 95% and payback for such sites can be almost immediate. There is also a positive environmental impact when fossil fuel is not used for power generation.
3. Direct Heating - Energy produced by the turbine is directed to hot water tanks, storage heaters or under-floor heating, rather than providing electricity to feed into your power supply.Whether you are interested in reducing domestic electricity bills, powering a telecom mast on the top of a hill or generating green electricity to power your business Proven Energy can work with you to find a sustainable energy solution that fits your needs.
