Wind Energy Manufacturers

The number of companies involved in the design and development of wind energy technology is growing at a rapid pace given the surging increase in demand.  In general, the market is divided into those that service the large-scale wind turbines used on wind farms and those that target small residential and business wind turbines.  Below is a list of some of the major wind energy manufacturers that target small-scale wind systems:

(EWSI) is the manufacturer and distributor of the EW15 wind system, a very reliable 50kW wind turbine, which is particularly suited to wind-hybrid applications in which the power is used directly by the end-user customer. The EW15 is ideal for use by farms, schools, industrial businesses, and municipal waste water treatment facilities in grid tied applications. For remote communities the EW15 can be incorporated into a utility system to provide power to the small villages and towns. The EW15 is a significantly advanced version of the former AOC 15/50. The EW15 can be expected to deliver between 150,000-200,000 kWh per year, depending on the wind regime at the site. The expected useful life of the EW15 is 30 years. EWSI, located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, has operated successfully since the current management assumed control of the former Atlantic Orient Corporation in 2002.
