Back to Indigo Wind Energy Systems Products Wind Turbine EW15 - Diesel Electricity Generation


In many parts of the world diesel generators are used to power remote communities or industrial sites. With the rising cost of fuel and its transportation, as well as the environmental risk involved in transporting and burning fossil fuels, many communities and companies are using wind generators to reduce their reliance on diesel

The AOC 15/50 works in diesel-intertie applications to reduce the need for diesel machines and fuel.

In Siberia, Russia five EW15s are being used in conjunction with two diesel generators to pump oil in a very remote and very cold region.

EWIS designs and installs wind-diesel systems. In many cases the wind turbines provide the majority of the power and the generators come online only when the wind speed slows.

To effectively evaluate the economics associated with your application you need to determine the wind resource, existing cost of electric energy ($ / kWh), fuel cost and load characteristics.

EW15's in a diesel grid pump oil at a remote Siberian oil field.

The EW15 turbine is ideal for grid or diesel-intertie applications. The EW15 requires a diesel or utility intertie with the following characteristics:

  • 50 kW (or greater) AC power;
  • 50 or 60 Hz power frequency;
  • 3-phase power;
