We have operated an Air Breeze BR0001068 since December 2007. The turbine has performed well without any problems and significantly quieter than previous versions in the Air series of micro wind turbines. The following summarizes power curve measurements on the Air Breeze.
Wulf Small Wind Turbine Test Field Results
Below is a tabular list of the micro and mini wind turbines tested at the Wulf Test Field and the type of tests performed.
During the winter of 1998 through the spring of 1999, I installed equipment to measure the power curve of first mini and then eventually micro wind turbines. The description of this effort and the reason for the hardware choices made is found in my year 2000 article Testing the Power Curves of Small Wind Turbines.
We returned to the site to remove the turbine for repair. The blades were removed without incident. However when removing the generator-yaw assembly the entire assembly came off in my hands without the yaw bracket. The yaw bracket remained firmly wedged in the tower top. This forced me to cut the conductors to get the assembly out of the way. Normally the conductors are secured to the down tower conductors with set screws.
