Community wind turbine · 100 kW class

100 kW wind turbine

Twenty-four metres of rotor and a quarter of a gigawatt-hour a year. This is the size a village, an agro-processor or an island grid buys when the diesel bill has become the largest line item in the budget.

  • 100 kWRated power
  • 2.5 m/sCut-in wind
  • 24 mRotor
  • IEC IINacelle

The GH-D100KW turns a 24 m rotor with 452 m² of swept area on a 30 or 35 m tower, with a 5.5 t nacelle and 11 t of tower steel. Cut-in 2.5 m/s, rated 11 m/s, survival 59.5 m/s, IEC II. At a 6 m/s mean it produces around 250 MWh a year — the annual consumption of 60 to 80 households, or a mid-sized cold store and processing line.

At this scale the project stops being a purchase and becomes an infrastructure programme: a foundation of 60–90 m³ of concrete, a 50–80 t crane, a grid connection study and usually a met mast with twelve months of data. We supply the turbine, the tower, the foundation design and the electrical package, and we will tell you plainly if the wind resource does not justify the machine.

Design details

24 m rotor, 452 m² swept area

Rated at 11 m/s with 2.5 m/s cut-in. Annual output around 250 MWh at a 6 m/s site, 320 MWh at 7 m/s.

IEC II, 59.5 m/s survival

Designed for 50-year gusts of 59.5 m/s, which covers most of Europe, southern Africa, South America and coastal Asia outside the typhoon belt.

Three braking systems, fixed pitch

Aerodynamic, mechanical and hydraulic braking, each sufficient alone. Fixed pitch keeps the blade root simple and the spare-parts list short.

30 or 35 m tower, 11 t steel

Tubular tower in three sections, bolted flanges, hot-dip galvanised. Lifting plan, torque sequence and foundation drawing ship with the machine.

Where it is used

Village and co-operative generation

60–80 households, or a village that sells surplus to the distribution network under a feed-in tariff.

Agro-processing at scale

Runs a 60–80 kW mill, cold store or irrigation pump set through the day and exports the surplus.

Islands and desalination

A 100 kW turbine with 6 kW of reverse-osmosis load per hour displaces 60,000–80,000 litres of diesel a year.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 100 kW wind turbine cost?
USD 84,000–119,000 ex-works for turbine, tower and controller; USD 182,000–266,000 installed with foundation, crane, electrical works and grid connection. Add a met mast campaign if you do not already have twelve months of site data.
How much land and what distance to houses?
A 150 m × 150 m plot with a 6 m crane track; 200–250 m to the nearest dwelling is the usual planning expectation at this rotor size. Tip height at a 35 m tower is 47 m.
Do I need a grid connection study?
Almost always. Above roughly 50 kW the operator will ask for a short-circuit contribution, protection settings and a power quality study. We provide the turbine data pack and can review the study before you sign.
