The wind-diesel systems
Plant size
Vestesen A/S offers wind-diesel systems in the range from 100-10,000 kW measured on consumer demand.

Principle diagram
On the left there is an example of a plant layout with all the main parts in a wind-diesel system. The capacity of the wind turbines can be up to twice the capacity of the diesel generators. This amount of wind power reduces the diesel consumption significant, which lower the expenses to fuel.
The system
gives power supply 100% of the time, because the diesel engines can take over all the demand, when the wind is insufficient.
The whole plant is a robust, simple, reliable and easily maintained plant with extensive use of standard components.
Solutions using natural gas engines, solar energy etc. are also available. |
