“We pack the technology of large-scale wind turbines into much smaller form factors,” says Matteo Vecchiato, Export Sales Director at ESPE. Through skill and passion, ESPE has engineered the FX Range of wind turbine generators (WTG) that are as powerful, reliable, and safe as a large WTG but have the size and cost of a small turbine. These turbines can stay active even under extreme wind conditions before stalling into their safety mode and simultaneously maintain a constant output power. A combination of large rotors and direct drive enables ESPE’s wind turbines to work with higher efficiency, reliability, and durability than other small and medium wind energy producers. Active Stall technology, advanced blade profiles, and passive brakes help lower maintenance costs and redundancies and guarantee safety during operation. Finally, advanced SCADA systems allow operators to automate the management and monitoring of these turbines completely.
ESPE follows a principle of moulding its projects based on the clients’ needs and available resources, instead of a ‘one size fits all’ approach.” One of the notable client interactions where this ideology of ESPE shone through was when the company designed wind turbines customised for the Japanese market. Even though these turbines were not a part of ESPE’s product portfolio, the company met the consumers’ demands with a new, specialised range of turbines. ESPE manufactured robust, typhoon-proof 20 kW turbines that could withstand wind speeds of up to 70m/s. The innovative technology used in creating these turbines has made them one of the most efficient and cost-effective in their power range. Although the WTGs are built to have a lifespan of over 20 years, ESPE does not leave the client’s side after the project’s completion. All turbines are equipped with SCADA systems that enable remote monitoring and troubleshooting from ESPE’s headquarters in Italy.
With a long-standing distinction in the energy field, every product that ESPE manufactures is subject to intense quality control and testing before reaching the customers. Its efficient solutions for small wind turbines have found a strong foothold in Asian markets and are also making considerable waves in the American renewable energy sector. Having installed over 900 renewable energy systems worldwide and delivered more than 180 wind turbines, ESPE offers high added value solutions—a result of intensive R & D— to ensure a consistently significant ROI for clients.
