Evance R9000 Design

The Evance R9000 - is manufactured in Leicestershire, a leading manufacturer of small wind turbines delivering efficient renewable energy solutions. This 5kW turbine is the most efficient small scale wind turbine available and is one of only four turbines to have FULL MCS certification.

The Evance R9000 is what’s known as an “up wind” turbine and will rotate according to the wind direction to ensure it is always fully utilising the wind available. A clever and yet simple control of the blade pitch angle (Reactive Pitchtm) regulates the speed of the turbine. This turbine starts generating at 3.0 m/s (6.0mph) and will continue producing right up to 60 m/s (134mph). Choice of tower heights for the R9000 are 10m, 12m, 15m, and 18m all of which are lowered to the ground hydraulically. In terms of servicing this is a huge benefit as the entire tower and turbine nacelle can simply be lowered to the ground using a portable hydraulic ram system and hydraulic supply.

Evance R9000 Installation

The installation of a R9000 wind turbine is carried out by trained installers, who in the UK are also MCS accredited. The installation process includes:
1.) Tower foundation & cable trench
2.) Electrical This illustration is for a twin tower installation.
3.) Tower installation. The tower comes in sections.
4.) Turbine installation
5.) Commissioning
Once all elements are in place, the R9000 will be commissioned. Then clean renewable energy can be generated - reducing your carbon footprint and saving you money.

Evance R9000 maintenance

We understand that operational time is important to our customers, therefore we offer a full support service through our resellers.

We recommend an annual maintenance check for the R9000 turbine and its supporting tower which covers: Tower and Supporting Structure Core Unit and Yaw System Pitch System Blades Electrical Equipment & Connections After the service the R9000 will be re-commissioned.

Work on the turbine should only be carried out by fully trained and certified personnel who are familiar with the machine and with Evance maintenance procedures.

What we can do for you

ü	Desk Top study If you would like to us to carry out a desk top study which includes calculating your wind speed, assessing the suitability for a turbine on your property and providing an estimated income chart please feel free to contact us
ü	Site Survey Once you have received a desk top study and feel that the you would like us to call for a site survey we would be more than happy to do so. For more details click here
ü	Planning Permission Wind turbines will require full planning permission and in most circumstances planning will be granted, however, it is not a straight forward process and will require a specialist planning consultant. We employ the services of a wind turbine planning consultant and as yet have not had a wind turbine application rejected and has succeeded in getting a wind turbine application granted in an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and a 'Coastal national park'. For more details click here
ü	Finance We are able to offer finance to farmers and businesses in the form of hire purchase from a few finance companies.
ü	Installation We will install and commission the turbine.

Mr. C. Breeze, Cilrhedyn, Pembrokeshire.

"It is important as a farmer to reduce my carbon footprint and as I live in windy West Wales the decision was taken to erect two 5Kw wind turbine through Davies Implements. The Evance R9000 seemed to be my best option as it wasn't an enormous investment and predicting a good return on my investment.

The whole installment was very professionally carried out and only took 3½ days in total. Each turbine only takes up 1m² of land, making this the most profitable 2m² on my farm. The turbines have now been running for over 3 weeks now and have surpassed the predicted generation by 10%.What else, except feed in tariffs, over a guaranteed index linked income for 20 years."
