Specifications:

The Eoltec Scirocco can truly be called the Rolls-Royce under the residential scale wind turbines. For the Scirocco, Eoltec started with a blank slate and designed it from the ground up using modern CAD/CAM tools, and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling of the airflow to optimize performance. They also brought their large wind turbine experience to bear and incorporated features normally only found on much larger turbines, such as variable pitch blades. The result is a very efficient wind generator, especially at the lower wind speeds typically found most of the time in most places, with an excellent cost/performance ratio.

Rated Output power	:	6 kW at 11.5 m/s (40 km/h) and above
Cut-in wind speed	:	< 2.7 m/s (9.7 km/h)
Survival wind speed	:	60 m/s (215 km/h)
Rotor diameter / swept area	:	5.6 m / 24.6 m² (18.4 ft / 265 ft²)
Blades	:	2 fiberglass-epoxy blades, aluminum root inserts
Power and overspeed regulation	:	Centrifugal pitch regulator, stalls blades to limit rotational speed
Rotational speed	:	80 - 245 rpm
Tip speed	:	23 - 70 m/s
Alternator	:	6.5 kW direct-drive NdFeB permanent magnet, 240 Volt 3-phase wild AC
Weight	:	202 kg (450 lbs)
Horizontal thrust	:	5500 Newton (1200 lbs) at 60 m/s
Maintenance	:	Annual inspection and lubrication
Warranty	:	5 years

Advantages:

The Scirocco is smaller and quite a bit cheaper than a Bergey Excel, yet it produces 87% of its electrical energy. This is thanks to its high efficiency in converting the kinetic energy available in wind into electrical energy.
The Scirocco is also much quieter than a Bergey Excel, thanks to its much slower rotational speed, blade profile, and lack of furling. It is in fact one of the quietest turbines on the market.
Just like large wind turbines the Scirocco uses pitch control to survive high winds. Most small wind turbines are stuck in the past by furling in high winds, something you will never find on a large commercial wind turbine.
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) inverter gets the most out of every wind speed. The Aurora Inverter is VDE126/UL1741/CSA listed.
Thanks to its low 245 maximum rpm and because it will not furl in high winds this turbine is quiet!
No diversion load, it doesn't need one. Rotor rpm is limited to 245 rpm even when unloaded.
Because it does not furl there is no drop in output power at high winds.
Build using European thoroughness in engineering according to IEC 61400-1 and 61400-2. The Pitch regulator and alternator are fully sealed. Add the low tip speed and you get a long lasting turbine that requires little maintenance. Eoltec feels very comfortable giving a 5 year warranty for a reason!

Inverter & Rectifier Details:

The Aurora inverter is intended for direct grid-connect, without batteries. It is UL/CSA listed, and thus approved by your power company for use. The documentation below has more details.

PVI-WIND-INTERFACE_SPECS.pdf

To handle the Scirocco's output power it takes a Aurora PVI-6000-OUTD-W-US unit plus a PVI-WIND-INTERFACE rectifier, pricing reflects all the needed electronics.

Power Curve Charts:

The first graph shows output power vs. wind speed. Wind speed is at hub height, output power is measured at the output of the electronics (inverter). Production remains constant at 6 kW from 11.5 m/s to survival wind speed.

The next graph shows estimated monthly energy production as a function of average wind speed at 10 meters, as typically reported by Environment Canada. This graph assumes the turbine's hub height is 30 meters above ground, and a typical wind speed distribution as found on inland sites (Weibull factor of 2).

1m/s = 3.6 KM/H = 2.25 MPH
