NOTE 

Comparing wind turbines? In August 2009 for 5 months we monitored the wind speed at each turbine tower with identical anemometers at identical heights. These indicated that the Proven turbine is experiencing a much better wind resource from the South West quadrant than the Evance. This should influence your comparison of the out put figures figures.  There may be as much as 40% more energy in the wind at the Proven site. The  analysis was carried out by ISKRA who manufacture the Evance turbine see Details
