Safety features similar to large utility-scale wind farm turbines. 

Wind turbine reliability

Benefiting from over 20 years of Danish wind turbine design experience, the Gaia-Wind 133 turbine has undergone extensive international quality and safety testing. It is UK Microgeneration Certfication Scheme (MCS) approved, has been rigorously tested in the USA, and has had Danish HBO certification for several years.

Gaia-Wind is the only small wind turbine manufacturer to have achieved the Danish HB Standards, which certify compliance with rigorous quality, safety and performance requirements.

• More than 500 of our turbines have been “in the ground” for a combined operational time of more than 1500 years
• In Denmark, 77 of our Gaia-Wind turbines have been running for more than 10 years
• An exclusive feature of a Gaia-Wind small wind turbine is the innovative control system developed from the controllers used on industrial size large wind turbines. The system contains multiple sensors which continuously monitor the status and performance of the turbine

Wind turbine safety

Our horizontal wind turbine is protected against very high wind speeds by three levels of safety features including:

1. Passive stall control
2. Mechanical brake activation
3. Deployment of centrifugally activated tip brakes

All of these measures ensure that should the wind reach speeds over 56mph, the rotor will automatically ‘park’ itself to avoid damage to your turbine.
