Proven
Wind Turbines
The worlds most robust and reliable wind
turbine systems.
How Does
A Wind Turbine Make Electricity?
The simplest way to think about this is to
imagine that a wind turbine works in exactly
the opposite way to a fan. Instead of using
electricity to make wind, like a fan,
turbines use the wind to make electricity.
Almost all wind turbines producing
electricity consist of rotor blades which
rotate around a horizontal hub.
The hub is connected to a gearbox and
generator, which are located inside the
nacelle. The nacelle is the large part at
the top of the tower where all the
electrical components are located. The wind
turns the blades round, this spins the
shaft, which connects to a generator and
this is where the electricity is made.
A modern wind turbine produces electricity
70-85% of the time, but it generates
different outputs dependent on wind speed.
Over the course of a year, it will generate
about 30% of the theoretical maximum output.
This is known as its load factor. The load
factor of conventional power stations is on
average 50%.

Proven Wind
Turbines
Proven Energy Ltd. manufactures one of the
worlds most robust and reliable wind turbine
systems on the market. Based on 10-years
worth of initial research and design, the
turbines have been enhanced and refined over
the years to give you the best that you can
get on the market.
Developing a system that can run through
hurricane force winds and not stop producing
power is no mean feat. The system works with
nature and not against it like upwind
turbines – the result is that you can get
the most out of even the severest of winds
and maximise on your investment.
So far, Proven have installed over 700 wind
turbine systems into over 30 countries
world-wide with a distributor network
spanning the globe to give you the customer
a local service.

These turbines are truly Proven by name
and Proven by nature!
“Wind gusts of up to 128mph were
recorded in the vicinity of the turbine over
this weekend – your technology has not
missed a beat throughout. I am therefore a
very satisfied Proven customer and would
willingly recommend your products and
engineering competence to any potential
customer”
