Every wind turbine is made differently. HYenergy wind turbine is designed with both reliability and performance in mind. HYenergy wind turbines feature two moving-part maintenance free design, high reliability and consistent performance, HYenergy wind turbines are made professionally in ISO certified factory, HYenergy wind turbines are CE certified The following features make HYenergy wind turbines produce more energy without maintenance headaches:

Blades are patented for twisted aerodynamic design and high efficiency. Blades are made with the latest advanced thermoplastic engineering and precision injection molding technology for highest strength, consistency of quality, performance and durability.

HYenergy wind turbines are fully automatic with blade aerodynamic braking and controller electromagnetic braking.


Innovative 5-blade design to maximize energy output at low wind conditions under 25 mph.


Strong Neodymium magnet PMA, the unique winding and multi-pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures it can generate more electricity at low wind speed than other systems.

User friendly: Pole connector included for easy installation, no welding needed to connect wind generator to pole.

Neighborhood friendly: Amazingly quiet
HYenergy wind turbines have very low noise level. Pole adjacent noise level is less than 55dBA, conforming to IEC 61400-11 wind turbine standard for Noise Measurement.



Benefit of 5-blade vs. 3-blade
wind turbines:
Designed to maximize energy output at low wind conditions under 25 mph.
Higher maximum power output (500W with wind only, 650W with wind/solar)
Higher energy output at low wind speed
Lower cut-in speed at 4.47 mph
Lower start-up speed at 3.35mph
Compared with 3-blade HY-400 model, even though the rated output is the same, the 5-blade's actual energy output at low wind conditions are higher and the max. output is 500W for 5-blade model. 5-blade model is more practical for most areas in US except high wind areas.

Advantages of 5-blade wind turbines over 3-blade wind turbines
1) 5-blade wind turbines will greatly improve annual energy production in low wind conditions.  For areas with average wind speeds of 11 MPH (5m/s). 


2)  5-blade wind turbines will dramatically improve the reliability and safety of wind turbine.  The blade rotation speed of a 5-blade turbine is 60% of the rotational speed for a 3-blade wind turbine.  5-blade wind turbines will greatly reduce chance of
overspeed control malfunction.  This will ensure operational reliability from a long term perspective.

3) The lower blade rotation speed of 5-blade wind turbine will lower wind turbine noise and make 5-blade wind turbines more community friendly than 3-blade wind turbines.

Patented, ISO/CE certified HYenergy wind turbines with 5 blades is the next generation system built with advanced technology, it is light weight and easy to install. It performs much better and much more reliable than older style wind turbines using furling which is the outdated technology.

Innovative 5-blade design to maximize energy output at low wind conditions under 25 mph. Start producing energy at less than 6.7 mph.

Improved pole connector fit standard 2" SCH40 steel pipe, no welding needed.

The wind turbine with mechanical furling overspeed control outputs dramatically lower energy in constantly changing wind and high wind conditions, mechanical furling wind turbines have a narrow working wind speed, recommended maximum working wind speed for mechanical furling wind turbines is up to 30 mph. They are not recommended for constantly changing wind speeds or high wind speed more than 30 mph. YOU NEED THE H- series WIND TURBINE FOR HIGH WIND AREA OR AREAS WITH CONSTANTLY CHANGING WIND SPEEDS.

From our customer's feedback, mechanical furling wind turbines work well if the wind speed is mostly constant and from 6.7 mph to 20 mph because the mechanical furling almost always kicks in early and results in low performance for more than 20 mph wind speed.

We want to let customer know the difference between H series and V series and choose the best wind turbine. H series is built with the best matching, high efficiency blades and 15 years maintenance-free life span. Commitment to innovation, long time, advanced R&D and patented technology ensure H series to have high efficiency and high energy production.

Old style mechanical furling wind turbines are built with old dated technology and lots of small companies copy the same design over and over without any R&D effort. Our prediction is that mechanical furling based wind turbine will be obsolete in the future because of low efficiency and low quality.

HYenergy wind turbine is designed to provide higher actual energy output in variable wind conditions and high wind conditions, It has 15-year maintenance-free design, all major parts are built with stainless steel for long term reliability and patented blades with efficient twisted aerodynamic design are made with Nylon-fiber materials which last much longer than fiber glass blades.

Comparing wind turbine performance using power curve is the most mistake people make. Don't get fooled by the deceiving power curves with high peak power for wind turbines, Instantaneous wind turbine power output (Watt) means NOTHING for wind energy. Accumulated energy production (KWH) is what customers should invest on.

Wind turbine performance should be evaluated by energy production in watt-hours, not peak power, not a single point on the power curve.

The power curve is useful to evaluate performance of wind turbines in high winds, our wind turbine performs well in high wind conditions and produce more energy than most of other "1kw" wind turbines.
 

Nylon-Fiber Glass High Efficiency blades is aerodynamically designed to regulate themselves, slowing automatically in high winds.

With a maximum 650 watt wind/solar hybrid output, the HY-400 5-blade wind turbine performs more consistently and is much more efficient than the side furling wind turbines and has additional solar/wind hybrid output capability.

The highest output in low wind in its class, superior performance and maintenance free life span make HY-400 5-blade wind turbine the most efficient and most reliable wind turbine in it class.

This results in more energy output in KWH yearly

Our wind turbine is made in modern ISO 9001 certified production facilities. Our Factory is ISO 9001 certified for implementation of quality management system for "DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING OF SMALL WIND TURBINES". ISO certificate ensures wind turbines to have superior quality and consistent performance.

Low noise level, neighborhood friendly: Pole adjacent noise level is < 55dBA, conforming to IEC 61400-11 wind turbine standard for Noise Measurement. Perfect choice for residential and rural, industrial applications.

CE and ISO certified      CE_cert ISO_cert

Customer beware: there are illegal copies of HYenergy wind turbines on the market that don't have the high production quality and efficiency of HYenergy wind turbines. HYenergy wind turbines are made by original patent and CE/ISO certificate holder. Illegal copies don't have CE/ISO certificates, Wind Turbine Patent, or high production quality.

Higher Efficiency = Higher Output and More Energy

Hidden cost of old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling

Low Efficiency Blades: Even with larger swept area, due to the low production quality and poor aerodynamic design, these old style blades can't capture the power in the wind efficiently. see below table for details.
Poor performance: The furling mechanism is not responsive to the constant changes of wind speed and wind direction. The furling system kicks in either too early or too late to go back to normal operation. This results in poor performance.
High Maintenance cost: The furling components are easy to wear out and break. They need lots of maintenance...therefore they are not a good long term investment.
Heavy Weight: wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling are heavy...therefore they have higher shipping cost, hard to install and maintain.
High Noise Level: Old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling is developed without noise control in mind, NOT neighborhood friendly.
Low survival wind speed: 78 mph (35 m/s) survival wind speed can't withstand high winds without damage and turbine needs to be taken down when wind speed exceeds 78 mph, output will diminish during high wind speed events.

Design Features

Advanced over-speed control mechanism vs. old style furling

Problems with old style furling:
Old style furling works well in an ideal, wind tunnel test environment. Realistically, wind speed and wind direction changes frequently and mechanical furling doesn’t have instantaneous response to actual changes of wind status. Especially in bad weather conditions, small wind turbine furling components wear out quickly, therefore, increases maintenance costs and shorten wind turbine service life or causes system failure.
Most of old style furling based wind turbines have three moving parts. It is the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection that wear out and require a lot of maintenance. Operation of furling based wind turbines would lead to mechanical abrasion, cause vibration, malfunction, and failure of the wind turbine and other devastating results in the long run.

The rule of thumb for a reliable wind turbine is that the fewer the moving parts, the more reliable the wind turbine is.

HYenergy Solution:
HYenergy wind turbine adopted Innovative over-speed control so it improves the reliability by abandoning the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection and minimizing the moving parts to only two.

Innovative over-speed control design of the HYenergy wind turbines:

HYenergy wind turbine speed limitation abandoned the traditional failure-prone mechanical furling system and solved safety and reliability problems facing most small wind turbines. Advanced speed limitation of HYenergy wind turbine is achieved through advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator.
Combination of Electromagnetic braking and aerodynamic braking maximizes energy capture by extending HYenergy wind turbine’s operating speed range into higher speed winds which are missed by the old style wind turbines.

1. Electromagnetic speed limitation:
Controller will monitor the wind generator rotation through the wind generator output voltage and frequency, and will timely control wind generator rotation by generating reverse reluctance torque if necessary, according to different wind conditions and battery status. Electromagnetic control features quick response, high reliability and therefore ensures the entire control system to be highly reliable.

2. Blade aerodynamic braking:
In high wind speed conditions, patented blades will generate a reverse reluctance torque, so that the blade efficiency falls and the blade rotation speed starts to decline. With the continuing reluctance torque, blade rotation speed is limited to a certain range to prevent damage to the wind turbine blades.

Higher performance at low wind speed
Problem with small wind turbine system on the market today
The most challenging problem facing small wind turbine systems is that power output is very low or close to nothing under low wind condition. The wind speed in most locations don’t stay at rated wind speed all the time, wind turbine actually operates at wind speed lower than rated wind speed at most of the time. In order to have good overall energy output, it is critical for small wind turbine to output as much as power at low wind speed.
HYenergy Solution:
Strong Neodymium magnet PMA, unique winding and multi pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures the HYenergy wind turbine can generate electricity at low wind speed. HYenergy wind turbine system components such as wind generator and blades are designed to output more electricity at low wind speed than other small wind turbines on the market today. HYenergy wind turbine system’s excellent power output under low wind speed results in greater energy production yield and lowest ownership cost.
Wind-solar hybrid power generation wind turbine system

Problem with single source renewable energy system:
1st Generation single source renewable energy systems such as solar systems or wind turbines don’t use renewable energy efficiently. Wind turbines creates less output during the summer, whereas during the winter the solar panels will produce less output.

HYenergy Solution:
Our hybrid solar-wind turbine integrated wind and solar power sources capture the most energy in all conditions. Since solar and wind energy availability differs by locations, seasons and climates, solar and wind energy can be mutually complementary in that solar and wind hybrid systems make full use of wind and solar energy together to generate as much power as possible compared to a single energy source for power generation. A solar & wind hybrid system is more cost-efficient than wind or solar alone.

Easy-to-install, light weight, compact, reliable and maintenance-free wind turbines, designed for land-based applications.

Problem with old style wind turbine systems:
Most old style wind turbines are heavy weight with unpredictable reliability, hard to install and require lots of maintenance. Due to the fact that most installations are in very remote and inaccessible locations, the old style systems make regular maintenance costly and sometimes impractical.

HYenergy Solution:
HYenergy  wind turbine's
