Commercial wind turbine · 30 kW class

30 kW wind turbine

Twelve metres of rotor, 113 m² of swept area, and the largest frame we build that still leaves the factory in a single 40 ft container with the tower nested inside. That detail decides more projects than the power rating does.

The GH-A30K is the top of the direct-drive GH-A platform: a 12 m rotor on a 30 kW permanent-magnet generator, 380 V three-phase, rated at 11 m/s with a 3 m/s cut-in. On a 6 m/s site it delivers roughly 71 MWh a year — around 60 % more than the 20 kW model for about 40 % more money, which is why most buyers who hesitate between the two end up here.

Its real advantage is logistics. The nacelle, three blades and the 30 m tower section all fit in one container, so a project in a country without a turbine supply chain can be delivered on a standard freight lane and erected with a 25 t crane in two days. A 50 kW machine needs a low-bed trailer, a 50 t crane and a road survey before it can leave the port.

Design details

10 m rotor, 78.5 m² swept area

Three GFRP blades on a direct-drive PMG. No gearbox, no oil, no slip ring — the annual service is blade bolts, yaw bearing play and tower torque.

One 40 ft container

Nacelle, blades, tower and controller ship together. This is the cost line that decides whether a remote project is viable.

380 V three-phase, grid or micro-grid

30 kW grid-tie inverter with anti-islanding, or a hybrid inverter sharing a DC bus with 20–30 kW of PV and a 100 kWh battery.

30 m tower, crane erected in two days

18, 24 or 30 m galvanised tower with a pre-assembled head. Foundation drawing and lifting plan supplied with the shipment.

Where it is used

Agro-processing and cold storage

Runs a 20 kW cold room and a milling line through the day, when the grid is weakest and diesel is most expensive.

Mining and construction camps

Cuts diesel burn on a 25–40 kW camp load; the battery carries the night, the turbine refills it by ten in the morning.

Water treatment and pumping

Pairs with a 22 kW pump on a hill site where the grid connection quote exceeded the cost of the turbine.

Frequently asked questions

30 kW or three 10 kW units?
One 30 kW machine is cheaper per kWh, needs one foundation, one grid connection and one service visit. Three 10 kW units give redundancy and fit sites where no crane can reach. If you have open land and crane access, take the single machine.
What does a 30 kW turbine cost?
USD 19,500–28,000 ex-works for turbine, controller and tower; USD 45,500–66,500 installed, depending on foundation, crane mobilisation and grid works. Price per kW falls by roughly 20 % against the 20 kW model.
How much land does it need?
A 40 m × 40 m plot with the tower in the middle and the nearest obstacle 100 m away, plus a 4 m access track for the crane. Fencing is optional; a locked tower door is not.
