Robust, Cost-effective Midsize Wind Turbines
Milestones in XANT’s history
The XANT development started with R&D on innovation drive-train
concepts and aero-elastic tailoring for mid-size turbines.
The XANT-21 design was initiated in Febr 2009
Nov 2009: Selection downwind concept with RISOE: Danisch Research Centre.
2010 Blade design with TU Delft & NREL
Dec 2011 This first design has undergone
Germanischer Lloyd Type-D Certification.
A working prototype is expected
by February 2014
Certification of XANT-21
by Q4-2014.

Robust, Cost-effective Midsize Wind Turbines
Medium sized wind turbines become available and
affordable for an increasing population
Site requirements for medium sized wind turbines
•
Moderate wind conditions .
•
Limited planning restrictions or barriers for
medium sized turbines.
•
Relatively high electricity prices / high fuel
prices.
•
Local consumption.
•
Attractive incentive scheme.
•
Zero-emission / green energy awareness.
