GTZ - TERNA Wind Energy Programme
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH commissioned a wind power turbine with a rating of 150 kW on the Island of Brava in January 1996. The facility operates as a fuel saver with a diesel generator in a very weak isolated grid with a high base load for pumping water. Use of the turbine enables large quantities of diesel fuel to be saved (www.gtz.de/wind).
