Horizontal-axis small wind turbine DALIFANT

two-bladed

Dalifant is a small wind turbine solution designed to yield maximum energy at a given rotor diameter. It is installed on a design-protected 20 metre wooden tower created by InnoVentum. The Dalifant is suitable for a variety of applications. It can provide electricity for an eco-farm, a larger house, a small-scale industrial site - power any appliances that require electricity. The full Dalifant solution including screw foundations weighs four tons and produces 38 000 kWh per year at 6 m/s. A typical large wind turbine with the capacity of 3 MW weighs 2 565 tons (including a concrete foundation of 1 250 tons) and produces 4 900 000 kWh per year. In terms of energy production per kilograms of materials used, the Dalifant produces 9.5 kWh per kg whereas the large wind turbine only produces 1.9 kWh per kilogram of materials used. This makes the Dalifant five times more resource efficient.
