Commercial wind turbine · 20 kW class

20 kW wind turbine

The size at which a site stops being a battery system and becomes a power station. Ten metres of rotor, three-phase 380 V, and enough annual output to carry a farm, a lodge or a twenty-house cluster without the diesel set running every night.

  • 10.0 mRotor
  • IP54Nacelle

The GH-A20K is a direct-drive permanent-magnet machine with a 10 m rotor and 78.5 m² of swept area. Rated power is quoted at 11 m/s, the same wind speed used across our range, so the 20 kW on the nameplate is a number the turbine actually reaches in a normal year rather than a short gust reading. Typical annual output on a 6 m/s site is around 47 MWh.

Electrically it is a three-phase machine: 220/380 V, 50 or 60 Hz, feeding a distribution board through a 20 kW grid-tie inverter, or charging a large battery bank through a hybrid inverter that also takes PV on the same DC bus. That second configuration is what most island and off-grid customers order, because it lets one machine cover both the night load and the cloudy weeks.

Design details

12 m rotor, 113 m² swept area

Rated at 11 m/s with a 3 m/s cut-in. Three GFRP blades, passive furling above 14 m/s, and a mechanical rotor lock for storm preparation.

Three-phase 220/380 V output

Grid-tie through a 20 kW inverter with anti-islanding, or hybrid operation on a shared DC bus with 10–20 kW of PV.

Two independent stop paths

Electromagnetic braking from the controller plus a manual rotor lock. Neither depends on the other, which is what insurers ask about.

12, 18 or 24 m tower

Hot-dip galvanised tubular or lattice tower, with foundation and anchor drawings issued against your site wind speed and soil report.

Where it is used

Farms and irrigation

Drives a 15 kW pump set through the afternoon peak and cuts the demand charge on a single-phase farm connection.

Lodges, resorts and telecom hubs

Replaces 12,000–18,000 litres of diesel a year at a coastal or hill site with a 20–40 kWh battery buffer.

Village micro-grids

Anchor generator for a 20–40 kW hybrid plant serving 15–25 households, with PV and a 60 kWh battery.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 20 kW wind turbine cost?
Budget USD 14,000–21,000 ex-works for the turbine, controller and standard tower. A complete installed system with foundation, crane, cabling and grid connection typically lands between USD 35,000 and 75,000 depending on the country and tower height. Send your wind data for a firm quotation.
Can a 20 kW turbine power a house?
It can, but it is oversized for one: a European house uses 4–6 MWh a year and this machine makes 45–50 MWh. Buy 20 kW when you have a farm, several buildings, a pump or a business load — otherwise a 5 kW machine and a battery is the cheaper answer.
How much space and tower height do I need?
A 24 m tower on a 30 m × 30 m clear plot, with the nearest dwelling at least 100 m away. If you cannot get the hub 10 m above every obstruction within 100 m, fix the tower height before you think about a bigger machine.
