New for Winter 2022/2023, the Leading Edge LE-v150 Storm is our toughest wind turbine yet, warranted to withstand winds up to 40m/s (100mph). This rugged and highly reliable vertical axis wind turbine is designed to provide power outputs of up to 200W for battery charging applications ranging from data comms and IOT to CCTV and datalogging (not for domestic use).

For use in locations where a traditional horizontal axis turbine simply couldn’t survive prolonged periods of storm force winds, the LE-v150 Storm is the Landrover Defender of the small wind turbine world.  It builds on the success of the LE-v150 Extreme currently powering industrial and research equipment in some of the harshest locations on earth - Antarctica, Greenland and Arctic Canada

Where wind gusts to 45m/s (100mph) or temperatures drop down to -40degC, the LE-v150 Storm turbine is the wind turbine of choice. It features enhancements that reduce the stress and fatigue on the blades during prolonged periods of storm force winds.

Features include stainless steel blades, polycarbonate cowlings, blade load spreader plates and a black body to reduce the build-up of rime ice.

The LE-v150 Storm is available as a 12V, 24V and 48V DC wind turbine. Inxcluded 7 x 70mm U-bolts (BZP) for side mounting to 50mm or 60mm OD pole.

Pure performance

The LE-v150 Storm wind turbine uses a proven ‘Savonious’ rotor design which gives silent and effective performance. Using the latest solid modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamic simulations, we have come up with an elegant ‘cross-ventilated’ rotor which provides good power conversion for a vertical axis wind turbine of this size.

This wind turbine will output 24W at 8m/s (17.8mph) with a peak output of 200W according to the power curve if sited correctly - read our siting advisory document.

The rotor is then coupled to our specially designed low inertia, zero ‘cogging’ axial flux permanent magnet alternator. Using Neodymium rare earth magnets, this alternator design has become one of the most field proven and effective alternators that is deployed across the entire range of Leading Edge wind turbines!
