This small and durable turbine is ideal for low energy marine applications such as charging batteries for engine starting, navigation equipment or electrical appliance generation. Rutland turbines seem a popular choice for boat owners and are a common sight in marinas as their minimal noise and low wind speed startups are attractive qualities. rutland 913 power output curveThe graph below shows the typical power produced (in Watts) for the Rutland 913 at different wind speeds. This turbine produces roughly 24 Watts power at wind speeds of 5m/s and can produce up to 300 Watts of power at high wind speeds.  Blade diameter is an important thing to look at when comparing turbines, since it affects how much power can be captured from the wind. This turbine has a blade diameter of 0.91 metres. How windy? If you are thinking of buying a Rutland 913, we'd advise measuring your wind resource first. Not just because we sell anemometers but it means you will have a much better idea of how much power you might generate.costThis wind turbine alone costs £470 including VAT. Suitable steel tube towers cost £20-£30, however a full mounting kit costs roughly £110.
