Why GHREPOWER?

Who is GHREPOWER?

GHREPOWER is one of the worlds leading system providers of small and medium wind power
products. The GHREPOWER headquarters and factory are based in Shanghai and the products
are exported worldwide. GHREPOWER, UK, based in South Wales, opened for business in 2011,
to supply the GHREPOWER 50kW and 100kW wind turbines to the UK market.

The Team
The establishment of GHREPOWER has its origin in the research and application mandate at the
China Wind Research Institute dating back to 1978. Today, GHREPOWER employs more than
200 people worldwide, and focuses its design and development purely on the small and medium
sized wind turbine systems. GHREPOWER has a dedicated workforce and experienced
Research and Development Team of more than 30 engineers from a wide variety of backgrounds,
including civil, mechanical, aerodynamics, electrical, electronics, computer science and
software.

Technology
GHREPOWER holds over 30 technical patents in the design of its Gearless-Direct-Drive,
Permanent Magnetic Generator, Controller and Inverter; Ideal for farmers, businesses and
communities. All components of the system come with a 5 year manufacturers warranty and a
five-year maintenance contract is also available.

Certification
GHREPOWER is the first and only small wind turbine manufacturer in China to proceed with
independent testing outside of China. The GHREPOWER 50kW turbine is currently undergoing
MCS testing at the TUV site in Scotland, with testing to be completed in 2012.

50kW Wind Turbine

Direct Drive PM Technology
Our gearless direct drive Permanent Magnet technology eliminates the need for a
gearbox in induction type generator. This results in improved generating
efficiency and system reliability.

Intelligent Multi-Level Protection

The smart pitch control brake, mechanical brake, electromagnetic brake, dump
load and active yaw system are intelligently controlled and adjusted under
extreme weather conditions to ensure the highest levels of safety and protection.

Low Noise Design

2 Units of 50kW Installation in UK

With an optimised low speed Permanent Magnet Generator and favourable

aerodynamic characteristics of the blades, the noise level is reduced to a
minimum.

MCS Wind Turbine Testing By TUV NEL

The GHREPOWER 50kW wind turbine is in the process of MCS testing based on
the IEC and BWEA standard in Scotland. Certification is expected imminently.

Applications
The GHREPOWER 50kW is suitable for domestic, commercial and community
applications.

100kW Wind Turbine

Sophisticated Design Concept
The first 100kW wind turbine with gearless, active pitch control and
permanent magnet generator design in the world.

Optimised Active Pitch Control

Active pitch control technology allows the turbine to automatically adjust its
pitch angle during periods of strong wind and capture more wind energy
during periods of low wind. It also ensures a steady power output, increasing
efficiency. GHREPOWER have a national technical patent on this design.

Smart Multi-Level Protection

The smart pitch control brake, mechanical brake, electromagnetic brake,

Power Curve

dump load and active yaw system are intelligently controlled and adjusted
under extreme weather conditions to ensure the highest levels of safety and
protection.

Full Power Inverter with Isolation

GHREPOWERs full power inverter converts and transfers unsteady wind
energy to a steady AC power of constant frequency and voltage to the grid. It
isolates the wind turbine from the grid to ensure the wind turbines safety and
minimise disturbance to the grid.

What GHREPOWER customers say:

GHREPOWER has been the perfect choice for us at our farms. Their wind turbines are far superior
to any other turbine we looked at...; Plus the support we have received during the installation and
even after we have been up and fully operational has been very impressive ...
M. Roenfanz, Ventura, IA, USA
GHREPOWER has commissioned two 50kW turbines in a public park environment with many
challenges. The commitment of the GHREPOWER UK team to deliver this project in a timely
professional manner was exemplary. The turbines are fully commissioned, helping reduce our
carbon footprint.
Craig Dalgliesh, West Lothian Council, UK
In our opinion, the Eastwind turbines* have proven to be the most reliable in their class, both from a
reliability and performance standpoint...
Private Energy Systems, Inc., USA
*GHREPOWER retails under Eastwind in the USA.

The quality of the components and the technology, both in design and construction, place
GHREPOWER products on the highest range in the sector
