Design of the Iskra AT5-1 Wind Turbine Dr Mike Wastling

inging wind energy to life
The Iskra AT5-1 - overview
Key design features
1. Passive pitch control for over-speed
protection in high winds and efficient
operation in light winds.
2. Efficient aerodynamic blade shape,
designed to maximise the ratio of
energy yield to loads (i.e. low cost of
energy), and to achieve low noise.
3. Integrated direct-drive permanent
magnet generator, for low component
count and reduced mass/cost.
4. A sleek and slender design for low
visual impact.
