Welcome to LeWL wind speed data logger

Here you will find information about how to, and products for monitoring wind speed and assessing sites viability for installing wind turbines.

In general when installing a micro wind turbine there is little risk as these are not extremely expensive, but when thinking about small scale wind turbines like the Proven Energy WT6000, Gaia Wind 11kW or Eoltec (to mention just a few and with no preference) things change a little bit. These require a greater level of investment together with proper research and a wind data study must be done before placing your order for a domestic wind turbine.

As part of our service together with our products, we are committed to giving you the correct tools and knowledge to make an informed decision. We have more than 10 years experience in the small and domestic wind turbine industry so we may save you some time.

You can send us an email anytime with any wind speed logging question. We will be happy to assist!!

Here you'll find useful information about wind data logging and how to use that data to select the right wind turbine for you. Knowing your average wind speed is an excellent guide to knowing the expected annual output from the wind turbine you are planning to use.

There're mainly two ways of knowing if your site is appropiate for installing a wind turbine:

Using DTI (part of UK government) models to find out your average wind speed on your areal (known as the NOABL model)
Using a wind data logger like the LeWL that can gather real and more detailed information about your site

Feel free to look around the site and email us any questions or suggestions you have. We'll be happy to hear from you.

Feed in Tariff 2010

Have you heard the news?

The UK’s Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) released its policy on Feed-in Tariffs for consultation this month bringing it one step closer to becoming law.

Feed in Tariffs are tariffs that allow the owner of a wind turbine or any other renewable energy device to sell the electricity back to the electrical grid. Payments are per kWh generated.

Please see below a short summary of the proposed policy outlined by BWEA:

Commitment to implement Feed in Tariffs for April 2010
Option for all sub 50kW units to switch to Feed in Tariffs at this time
Wind banding for products 1.5kW to 15kW, proposed tariff for this section is 23p/kWh
Wind banding for products 15kW – 50kW, proposed tariff for this section is 20.5 p/kWh
Proposed generation tariff levels + banding (NOTE: these levels do NOT include the export tariff (5p/kWh), or displaced import)
LCBP grants and other grants will not affect Feed in Tariff eligibility

Tariffs are the price paid per kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed, or in this case, generated

Wind turbines are great! They produce much more energy per sq. meter than PV or most of any other renewable energy device. Just make sure the wind turbine is installed in the right place.

If you have been thinking about wind turbines, now may be the time to start measuring wind speeds to find out if your site is good enough to get a payback over the years with this coming Feed in Tariff.

Before you jump into purchasing a wind turbine, do a bit of homework, in fact we have done a little bit for you already : See out HOW TOs >>

We proud ourselves of having not just theoretical but also “on the field” experience with wind turbines. We work day to day with wind turbines installers, manufacturers, consultants and end consumers. Check out our main website.
