Wind turbines
ReGen (NI) has been selling and installing the Iskra AT5-1 5kW small wind turbine across Northern Ireland since November 2006. We have done this utilizing Pipeline Renewable Services support. The AT5-1 5Kw wind turbine suitable for powering community and local authority projects, farms, country estates, industrial units, rural domestic properties, offices, schools and many more applications has been superseded by the Evance R9000. The manufacturing plant is located in Loughborough, England.

In addition to our high-quality, state-of-the art wind turbines, we offer comprehensive expertise. ReGen(NI) is an experienced and reliable partner who will assist with the planning process, installation and servicing of your wind turbine. Our services include:

Evance Launches the Iskra R9000 Advanced Turbine

The new turbine is an evolution of the popular and reliable Iskra AT5-1 and has been developed over two years, including continuous monitoring and evaluation on Evance’s test sites, instrumented and measured according to IEC standards. The Evance R9000 comes with a 5 year warranty.



Enjoy the benifits of the latest technoligies.
There are a number of key features that differentiate the Iskra R9000 from other small wind turbines and give it class leading performance, efficiency and energy yield, these include:



• Blade Technology - Airborne erosion testing to twice standards necessary for military use. Improvements in manufacturing process, to ensure highest quality standards.


• Noise reduction - Advanced generator design which virtually eliminates generator noise, whilst maintaining 96% efficiency. Aerodynamic improvements in aerofoil design reduces overall noise by 40 percent. The turbine has been measured at Lp 60m = 45dB(A). BWEA Reference Sound Level at 8m/s and 60m distance.

• Efficiency – The AT5-1 was already the most efficient turbine in its class and the Evance Iskra R9000 has increased that efficiency by four percent, increasing energy yield from 8700kWh to over 9000kWh on a site with AMWS of 5m/s.

• Five year warranty – Evance is so confident of the quality of the new turbine that it comes with a five year warranty as standard. This assurance is based on the combined knowledge of all Evance’s installers and two and half million operating hours, with 99 percent uptime. Designed to meet the IEC61400-2 international standard, all of the R9000’s parts are manufactured in composite stainless steel or coated to automotive standards. All installations are backed by a manufacturer trained and certified service network.

• Energy – The Iskra R9000 generates more energy than any other 5kW turbine on the market – 9.012 kWH with an annual mean wind speed of 5m/s (11mph), measured to IEC and BWEA standards.

• Styling – The turbine has been styled to blend in with the environment for low visual impact and to fit planning demands, and improve resistance to the impact of extreme climates. The new turbine retains the feel of the iconic AT5-1 tail vane styling, but with more advanced design.

• Certification – The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is reviewing the turbine currently and as Evance has been measuring noise and energy yield to IEC standards for over two years it is confident that Certification will confirm its leading performance.

• Reactive Pitch - The turbine’s Reactive Pitch™ technology ensures that its aerofoils are perfectly positioned to the wind at all times. With no cut out wind speed the R9000 generates power from 5.6 mph/2.5 m/s

• Braking - A patented ElectroBrake™, which has no moving parts, stops the turbine at any wind speed and has no connection from the top of the tower to the ground or any other systems. The watchdog function on the ElectroBrake™ provides failsafe backup.

Grants
Currently, NIE have a top up grant of £2,500 to support the LCBP stream 1 grant also £2500, taking the total available at present for domestic installations of wind turbines in Northern Ireland to £5000.

Also announced that as from the 1st April 2009, NIE will pay double NIROCs (Renewable Obligation Certificates), ie 2 NIROCs for each mega-watt hour of eligible output. This equates to 7.6p per kWh for all electricity generated, even if you consume it yourself and is an incentive scheme to encourage investment in microgeneration. This is a highly attractive option for home owners of small wind turbines dramically reducing payback times. With energy prices set to rise year-on-year, your Evance wind turbine delivers savings from the word go. Not only will it help reduce C02 emissions, once it’s paid for itself it will provide free energy for the rest of its working life. You may also sell your access power to NIE at the current rate of 7.4p per kWh but the best savings are created by utilising the as much power as possible generated by your turbine thus reducing your electricty bill.

The robust construction means it can withstand the force of wind speeds greater than 130mph. And with a 20-year, low maintenance life span they are designed to go the distance.
