Wind Resource
The site needs a usable wind resource before a 50 kW turbine can be evaluated for industrial generation.
50 KW · INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Distributed wind for industrial sites.
Industrial wind projects depend on more than available space. Wind resource, site power demand, grid condition, installation access and the electrical architecture all influence whether a 50 kW wind turbine makes sense.

50 kW · INDUSTRIAL WIND POWER
01APPLICATION CONTEXT
Start with the site and its power demand.
Industrial facilities can have very different electrical loads, operating schedules, site layouts and grid conditions. Wind generation should therefore be evaluated against the actual facility rather than treated as a standard add-on.
PROJECT PRINCIPLE
Industrial demand alone does not justify a wind project. A suitable wind resource and workable site conditions remain fundamental to the engineering case.
02PROJECT CONDITIONS
Where industrial wind begins to make sense.
The project case depends on the relationship between wind resource, facility demand, grid conditions, available space and site-specific installation requirements.
Facility Load
Power demand, operating hours and load variation influence how wind generation should be considered within the site's electrical system.
Grid Condition
Grid availability and local interconnection requirements influence the power-conversion and system architecture.
Site & Installation
Tower location, access, lifting, foundation requirements and surrounding infrastructure should be reviewed at project level.
0350 kW PLATFORM
ELECTRIC YAW WIND TURBINE
A 50 kW platform for project-based industrial wind.
The FD14-50 kW platform combines a 14 m rotor, electric yaw control and project-based system configuration for distributed wind applications.
04SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The turbine has to fit the industrial power system.
Turbine selection, control, power conversion, electrical interfaces and installation requirements should be evaluated as parts of the same project.
01Wind Resource
Available wind data should be reviewed before turbine selection or project sizing.
02Facility Load Profile
Operating schedules and electrical demand help define the role wind generation may play within the facility.
03Controller & Power Conversion
Control and power-conversion equipment should be selected according to the intended project architecture and electrical requirements.
04Tower & Installation
Foundation, tower, lifting, transport and installation requirements depend on the actual industrial site.
05Local Requirements
Electrical standards, grid requirements, permitting and certification needs should be confirmed for the project location.

Start with the facility.
Share the project location, available wind data, facility load information, grid condition and intended electrical architecture. MARSTON POWER can review the project requirements before discussing turbine and power-conversion configuration.
