Overview
 2 X WES 250kW in Sheffield | Segen offer 80kW and 250kW wind turbines from the long established Dutch manufacturer, Wind Energy Solutions. These are both twin bladed upwind machines using computerised yawing systems and power control to ensure maximum energy capture at all times. The WES18 and WES30 are well tried and tested products with over 1,000 installations world wide, and Segen is very pleased to be offering these in the UK. The 250kW WES30 is ideally suited to the more power hungry needs of larger farms, community projects, council premises and commercial properties, generating approximately 300 - 400,000kWh per year on an typical site, and more in windier locations. The WES30 is normally supplied on an 40m free standing tower and thereby maximising the energy available from this larger machine and connects to a three phase supply. The fully installed cost of a WES18 is around £220,000, depending upon tower height, site conditions and electrical connection requirements. For the WES30 the installed cost is around £500,000. |
Segen provides a quick wind speed checker that uses the DTI's NOABL database to estimate the wind speed at your location, based on a computer model of the wind speed at 25m high. It is important to note that the AMWS at 25m will be a lot higher than the more normally quoted figure at 10m/s.
Segen Feasibility Study
| The site specific requirements for turbines of this size need detailed investigation before a decision to go ahead should be considered, or a planning application submitted. A member of Segen staff will visit your site and using a number of different techniques assess the suitability of your proposed location for a medium sized wind turbine. A detailed report will be generated and sent to you. You will be sent the report and a full project estimate of costs within a few weeks of the visit. Segen make a modest charge of £3,490 + VAT (WES18) or £4,450 + VAT (WES30) for this feasibility study. Please contact Segen should you wish to arrange a visit. |  |
Guide Prices
The table below gives indicative guide prices for a fully installed WES 18 or WES 30 on the various tower options. The cost of foundations, installation, cabling and grid connection can however vary considerably depending on the location and existing infrastructure and a feasibility study is always required to supply a more accurate cost estimate of your project. The taller towers will always enable more energy generation and will normally provide a better return on investment, but planning and space constraints may limit the maximum tower height you can have. The price of the WES turbine is also subject to currency exchange changes between the Euro and the UK Pound. All prices exclude VAT.
