The Northwind 100 (by Northern Power)

Originally designed by NASA for remote locations the Northwind 100 is a technical masterpiece which has proven reliability and low operational costs. With such benefits as gearless direct drive technology, state of the art power converter and advanced Blade design, the American designed and manufactured Northwind 100 is the result of 30 years of Northern Power System’s investment in Research and Development. The Northwind 100 is also available for extreme Nordic conditions. Northern power Turbines have survived 198 mph winds and -60° C temperatures in Antarctica and still continue to operate. With more than 20 turbines in Alaska having produced over 3.8 million kilowatt hours to date, the Northern team has created an arctic turbine model that is truly best in class for cold and icy environments.
