The minimum recommended average wind speed (AMWS) for a qr5
is 5.5m/s.
The energy output will vary according to the wind speed but
is likely to up to 7,500kWh per annum depending on location.
According to the government building regulations,
distributed generation in the UK will reduce CO2 emmisions by
0.568kg of CO2 per kWh.
QuietRevolution QR5 Installed
at Bedford College UK 2011
The
Quietrevolution™ QR5 was designed in
response to increasing demand for wind turbines that work well
in the urban environment, where wind speeds are lower and wind
directions change frequently. The elegant helical (twisted)
design of the qr5 ensures a robust performance even in
turbulent winds. It is also responsible for virtually
eliminating noise and vibration. At five metres high and three
metres in diameter, it is compact and easy to integrate, and
with just one moving part, maintenance can be limited to an
annual inspection. Clients include major retailers,
developers, government departments, schools and universities.
The Quietrevolution™ QR5 was recently
installed at the Bedford college UK.
