LEITNER SPA

LEITWIND is a subsidiary of HTI (High Technology Industries) Group. The LEITWIND turbine is a product line of LEITNER SPA headquartered out of Vipiteno, Italy, who is a premier manufacturer of gearless wind turbines, and have reinvented the wind turbine in the spirit of simplicity. One of LEITWIND's objectives was to develop a wind turbine with blades that can withstand the kind of extreme winds (up to hurricane strength) found in the Caribbean. The new LS39-H blade is designed for use on the "Typhoon" version of the LTW 80 wind turbine -- currently one of the most reliable on the market.

 

These Typhoon GL A class LTW80 turbines are expected to be exposed to extremely high wind gusts of up to 70 m/s (250 km/h or 156 mph). The loading capacity and safety of the new blades have been tested at the Wind Technology Testing Center in Boston, USA, passing all tests with flying colors. The LTW wind turbine's engineering design is exactly what the operating environment at Bovoni Point calls for.
