Leading the way in small wind

Products

The Proven Energy range of wind turbines has been designed as downwind machines with passive yaw, pitch and coning control producing maximum yield in a wide range of wind speeds.

Proven Energy products stand out from other small wind turbines because of its patented blade assembly, which allows the wind turbines to regulate their speed, maximising output. As the wind gets stronger, the blades pitch and cone to reduce their aerodynamic efficiency. This lets the Proven Energy wind turbine maintain a high output even in the fiercest storms, unlike many turbines which need to be put on brake to protect themselves at high wind speeds.

Proven Energy has a range of products which is tailor-made to meet the challenges of small wind.

Proven 11 Cold Climate wind turbine

The Proven Energy Cold Climate wind turbine has been specifically engineered to operate in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees.  It benefits from the standard Proven 11 robust and durable solution, but also consists of alternative frame materials to ensure ductility at low temperatures; batch testing of all structural material used in the wind turbine, frame and tower and enhanced low hydrogen welding techniques to ensure extended fatigue life at low temperature operation. 

Proven 7 EX

The Proven 7 EX is Proven Energy's 'explosion proof' wind turbine, which provides an ideal source of energy for applications such as offshore oil and gas platforms like Shell.  Designed specifically for harsh and extreme environments, the 'explosion proof' element of the wind turbine ensures that the machine never produces a spark. 

The slip ring assembly is housed in a sealed spark prevention enclosure which prevents flammable gases from coming into contact with electrical interconnections.

Client Testimonial

"I have been extremely impressed with the robustness of your products and engineering. I am writing therefore to acknowledge this competence and the reliability of the products, which have performed predictably under what must be some of the most extreme weather conditions experienced in the UK.

Wind gusts of 128mph were recorded in the vicinity of the turbine over this weekend - your technology has not missed a beat throughout. I am therefore a very satisfied Proven Energy customer and would willingly recommend your products and engineering competence to any potential purchaser."

George Gordon, Lancaster
