Siemens wind turbine technology is
helping Harbon Wind Turbines offer
increased reliability in its wind
turbines. The Doncaster-based
manufacturer supplies units with
rated power of around 60kW to
farmers and small businesses with
relatively low energy requirements.

The company approached Siemens
Mechanical Drives about gear units
and generators just over a year ago,
since when Harbon has built a 60kW
trial turbine unit and a number of
55kW units using Siemens products
at the heart of the drive system.
