Proven 7
The Proven 7 wind turbine (then the WT2500) was Proven Energy’s first commercially installed wind turbine.
Proven Energy products stand out from other small wind turbines because of their patented blade hinge design, which allows the wind turbines to regulate their speed, optimising output. As the wind gets stronger, the blades pitch and cone to reduce their aerodynamic efficiency.
The wind turbines use a direct drive generator and therefore have no gearbox, resulting in higher reliability, reduced noise, lower servicing costs and no reduction in performance in cold weather.
Inspiration, innovation and a commitment to development have ensured these wind turbines produce electricity in a variety of wind regimes without the necessity to be stopped for self protection.
