Product type
A horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is a type of wind turbine that has its main rotor shaft and electrical generator located at the top of a tower. This design allows the turbine to capture wind energy efficiently from any direction. Typically made of materials such as fiberglass, steel, and aluminum, HAWTs are engineered to withstand various weather conditions while maximizing energy output. They are commonly used in both onshore and offshore wind farms to generate electricity for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
| Rotor diameter | Up to 200 meters |
| Rated power output | 500 kW to 10 MW |
| Cut-in wind speed | 3 to 4 m/s |
| Cut-out wind speed | 25 m/s |
| Tower height | 30 to 120 meters |
| Number of blades | 2 to 3 blades |
When choosing a horizontal axis wind turbine, consider the site location and wind resource assessment to determine the appropriate size and capacity. Specify the rated power output, rotor diameter, and tower height based on your energy needs. Additionally, inquire about certifications, such as IEC standards, and ensure the turbine meets local regulations. Quantities may vary based on project scale, so provide clear details on your requirements when requesting a quote.
