UK based wind turbine manufacturer, FuturEnergy Ltd has met the challenge of producing the first remote controllable micro wind turbine.

Good wind turbine sites are often remote and off grid. The nature of these remote locations present significant challenges to customers who are not always available to turn off a turbine in high wind conditions. AirForce Control solves this problem.

FuturEnergy's AirForceTM Control is a brand-new product that provides unparalleled performance monitoring and automatic system protection for their 3-Phase AC 1kW turbine system. FuturEnergy Wind Turbine systems are provided with a Davis Anemometer, which provides the system with both wind speed and direction information.


AirForceTM Control offers access to a Web-based portal providing remote control & configuration, along with trending of historical performance data.

When charge parameters are met, or other controlled parameters are exceeded, the turbine is automatically stopped and restarted when conditions return within operational limits or further battery charging is required.

Wind turbine applications include:

• Battery charging for distributed power

• Power for emergency lighting

• Thermal heating

• Accessible power where grid connections are not possible

• Remote Telecoms/IT back up power/CCTV.
