100W Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Test Bench

The 100W Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Test Bench, developed and supplied by Atto Labware India, is a compact and efficient educational trainer designed to study the principles of wind energy conversion using a horizontal axis configuration. With a low start-up wind speed of 2.0 m/s and high-performance aerodynamic blades, this system demonstrates the generation of electrical power from wind under controlled laboratory conditions. The test bench is equipped with a three-phase permanent magnet AC generator, electromagnetic controller, and safety features for accurate measurement and safe operation — ideal for renewable energy labs, universities, and research institutes.
