Providing 100 kW of rated power, the Northwind 100 is an ideal turbine for the following applications.
Small industrial sites and commercial farms
As with other industries, small industrial businesses and commercial farms are feeling the strain of higher energy costs. Whether electricity needs are for specialized systems that run 24/7 or large scale irrigation equipment, adding wind wind turbines can provide a good ROI and help stabilize long-term energy costs. Often these sites have the right amount of "real estate" to easily integrate wind turbines.

Small communities, municipalities
The installation of wind power into small communities not only offers a hedge against steadily rising energy costs and provides compelling environmental benefits, it can also improve power reliability, create new jobs and bring new revenue into rural counties, towns and small school districts through increased property taxes. In addition, local, state and federal government incentives can help offset implementation costs.
Schools and higher education institutions
Along with the environmental benefits and potential energy cost savings, schools and higher education institutions have a unique opportunity to leverage wind power systems for educational and research purposes.
Remote Village and Wind-diesel power systems
Relying on diesel generators to provide electricity for remote and rural villages is often a costly and environmentally challenging proposition. Because fuel delivery to these areas is difficult, expensive, and sometimes dangerous, villages are increasingly turning to wind and wind-diesel hybrid systems that offer infrastructure and electricity that is cost effective, reliable and sustainable.
