Endurance E-3120 (55kW)
Ideal for Landowners
The Endurance E-3120 wind turbine allows land owners to take a step towards large scale energy production from wind. As well as being functionally impressive the aesthetics have been carefully considered during the design process.
With an exceptionally large 19m rotor diameter the Endurance E-3120 has the ability to provide one of the largest energy outputs for a generator of its size, maximising the return on your investment.
The Endurance E-3120 is proving to be a popular mid-sized turbine choice. IT provides a large annual energy production balanced with minimal visual impact.
Turbine Features
- Large Swept area for maximum energy generation
- Ideal for low-wind speed sites
- Excellent aesthetics
- 5 year parts & labour warranty
Technical Data
| Rated Output (@ 9m/s) | 55kW |
| Rotor diameter (m) | 19m |
| Turbine type | Down wind, induction generator |
| Tower height options | 24m, 36.6m |
| Colour | White |
| Turbine certified class rating | Class 3 (suitable for average wind speed up to 7.5m/s) |
| Cut-in speed | 3.5m/s |
| Cut-out speed | 25m/s |
Site Requirements
| Grid Connection | A three-phase supply is required. Ideally three-phase will already be available at your property, or going over your land. |
| Wind Speed | The endurance turbine is a class 3 rated turbine. This means it is suitable for site with average wind speeds up to 7.5m/s. If your wind speed at hub height is over this then it is worth considering a class 2 turbine such as the Northern Power. |
| Access | Installation is usually carried out with 1 or 2 4 axle, all steer road going cranes. The 36.6m tower requires a 110tonne crane, and the 24m an 80tonne crane. Permanent roads or good quality tracks are required for access. |

Planning Requirements
| Noise | A separation distance of a minimum of 280m is normally required from the nearest non-financially involved property. In areas of high background noise it may be possible to site this turbine closer. |
| Designated Land Areas | If you are in a national park or AONB then this turbine may not be appropriate |
| Radar/MOD | If you are within 30km of an airport or MOD base then radar screening will be required. |

Output
The estimated annual production figures are provided for a range of wind speeds below. Wind speeds are ‘hub height’ measurements. We have access to a number of wind speed database models to provide a rough guide to the yield potential at your site. Whilst it is always preferred to have actual wind speed data taken from the site, for this scale of turbine it would be unusual to record this data. A mid-range compromise is for a met-office virtual met mast report to be produced detailing the modeled wind climate at your site. We can provide you with this report for your site if you required.
| 5m/s | 120,000kWh |
| 5.5m/s | 140,000kWh |
| 6m/s | 165,000kWh |
| 6.5m/s | 190,000kWh |
| 7m/s | 210,000kWh |
| 7.5m/s | 240,000kWh |

FIT payments & Income
In this example it is assumed that all electricity produced by the turbine is exported. If the turbine is connected to your property then rather than exporting, you will be offsetting some of your existing consumption. This will reduce your payback. The minimum export rate is 4.5p/kWh; however some PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) will pay more than this.
Feed in Tariff rate: 21p/kWh
Export Rate: 5p/kWh
| Hub Height Wind Speed | Feed in tariff Income | Export Income | TOTAL Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5m/s | £25,200 | £6,000 | £31,200 |
| 5.5m/s | £29,400 | £7,000 | £36,400 |
| 6m/s | £34,650 | £8,250 | £42,900 |
| 6.5m/s | £39,900 | £9,500 | £49,400 |
| 7m/s | £44,100 | £10,500 | £54,600 |
| 7.5m/s | £50,400 | £12,000 | £62,400 |
Warranty
A 5 year manufactures parts and labour warranty is provided with the turbine. The warranty requires an annual service contract be taken out with the installer for the 5 year period.
Servicing & Maintenance
Servicing is required once a year or every 5000 operating hours (whichever occurs first). We provide annual servicing on the Endurance wind turbines.
