The hydraulic tip-up design eliminates the expenseof large cranes and service equipment. Renewegy’s hydrauliccylinders and power supply are fit to the tower during installation andservicing. When the tower is erected and securely bolted in place,the cylinders are removed. The result is a reduction in installationand service costs that saves time and money.Unique Tip-Down Tower for Ease of ServiceApproximately 8 to 10 minutesto raise or lower the VP-20Note: The hydraulic cylinders and power supply shown are used for installation and service events. They are not included in the standard package; however, may be purchased separately.Printed on recycled paperVP-20 ready for tip upTurbine Head AttachmentTower Delivery Tower AssemblyHydraulic Tip-upSystemRenewegy, LLC - All rights reserved.Mini Wind Farms – Easy to Install and Service96ft (28m)minimumPowerManagementPrinted on recycled paperRenewegy, LLC - All rights reserved.m/s mph Ideal 15% 20% 25%4.5 10.1 17,190 14,612 13,752 12,8935.0 11.2 22,654 19,256 18,123 16,9905.5 12.3 28,501 24,226 22,801 21,3766.0 13.4 34,632 29,437 27,705 25,974Annual Energy EstimatorEstimated Annual Energy Production (kWh)Average TurbulenceAverage Wind SpeedWhat drives the economics for a typical project?• Average wind speed• Electricity costs• Available incentives• Number of turbines installed• Marketing value to your business020,00040,00060,00080,000100,000120,0000 5 10 15 20Electrical Energy (kWh)Average Annual Wind Speed (m/s)Estimated Annual Energy Production 05101520250 5 10 15 20 25Electrical Power (kW)Average Annual Wind Speed (m/s)Electrical Power CurveLeading the Light Commercial MarketElectronic Pitch ControlThe VP-20’s electronic Variable Pitch (VP) controlsystem is unique in the Light Commercial market. Why isVariable Pitch important? Every wind turbine needs away to control and optimize its performance over the widerange of wind speeds and environmental conditions. Likeits Utility scale counterparts, the VP-20 actively controlsthe pitch of each blade within 1/100th of a degree whilepitching at speeds up to 15 degrees per second. Thisunique capability allows the VP-20’s control system(seven microcomputers working in unison) to optimizethe turbine’s performance while ensuring safety andreliability.Printed on recycled paperCompositeBladesPlanetaryGearbox (6:1)ElectronicControlsTwin CaliperRotor Brake Single CaliperYaw BrakeActive YawServoActive PitchServoUltrasonicAnemometerVariable PitchRotor HubInductiveGeneratorElectro-hydraulicBrake Control3-AxisAccelerometerGreaselessSlew BearingAnti - Windup(No Slip Ring)Three Axis AccelerometerWhat if Renewegy could put an engineer on top of everyone of our VP-20 products to ensure the safety andperformance of the turbine? Well – that’s probably a littleimpractical; however, we’ve done the next best thing.Each VP-20 turbine head comes standard with anelectronic 3-Axis Accelerometer to measure the keyvibrations from your turbine head. This information isprocessed 10 times per second by the VP-20’s mastercontroller to ensure that your turbine is operating safelyunder all conditions. If anything abnormal is detected, awarning is triggered. If the condition worsens, the mastercontroller will automatically shut the turbine down until aservice technician can evaluate the situation.Internet Connectivity – Remote MonitoringLike its larger counterparts, each VP-20 turbine isconnected to the internet. Not only can you monitor theperformance of your turbine through any web browser(like the screen to the right), but Renewegy servicetechnicians can remotely do a deep dive into yourturbines systems to monitor and/or diagnose any issuesthat may arise. Additionally your VP-20 turbine can beremotely setup to analyze itself by acquiring up to 8Megabytes of data (15 channels of data at up to 10 timesper second). Once the data is captured, your VP-20 issmart enough to automatically upload the data toRenewegy’s technicians for review.OptimalSafeSmartRenewegy, LLC - All rights reserved.Proudly Designed and Manufactured in the USAPrinted on recycled paperBuilding USA’s clean energy technologyProud to partner with USA based suppliersManufactured in Oshkosh, Wisconsin• American Ingenuity• American Steel• American JobsRenewegy, LLC - All rights reserved.VP-20 Data SheetOperating Standard Metric• Maximum Power: 27 HP 20 kW• Rated Power @ 11 m/s: 15.4 HP 11.5 KW• Rated wind speed: 35 MPH 15.8 m/s• Freewheel Speed: 5.6 MPH 2.5 m/s• Cut-in Speed: 7.8 MPH 3.5 m/s• Cut-out Speed: 55.9 MPH 25.0 m/sRotor• Number of Blades: Three• Rotor Speed: 100 – 110 RPM• Diameter: 31.5 ft 9.6 m• Swept Area: 779 ft2 72.4 m2Generator• Type: Asynchronous Inductive• Rated Speed: 600 - 660 RPM• Voltage: 480VAC 3-phaseGearbox• Type: Single Planetary• Ratio: 6.00:1Control• Type: Microprocessor based• Pitch: Active closed-loop electric servo control• Yaw: Active closed-loop electric servo control• Algorithm: Proprietary Synergistic Pitch/Generator Control• Connectivity: Cellular, 802.11, wired Ethernet• Managed: Master or Slave (wind farm capable)Braking System (fail safe)• Rotor Aerodynamic: Active blade pitch control (fully feathered)• Rotor Mechanical: Dual caliper spring loaded disc brake• Yaw Mechanical: Single caliper spring loaded disc brakeLightning Protection• Grounding: Coherent ground path from turbine to Ufer grounded foundation• Strapping: Dedicated braided strapping to ensure low resistance ground path• Surge: Standard suppression installed in all electronicsTower Options• Monopole: 30 meter hydraulic tip-down systemPrinted on recycled paperRenewegy, LLC - All rights reserved.
