On June 30, 1999 the U.S. Dept. of Energy
announced five projects to be funded under the "Field Verification Program
for Small Wind Turbines". This program was designed to test the
performance and reliability of small wind turbines installed at a variety of
customer sites. Under the Field Verification Program a single turbine of
each model included in the project is also installed at the National Wind
Technology Center near Boulder, Colorado.
Three of the five winning projects featured Bergey 10 kW wind turbines. A total of thirteen BWC Excel's will be installed in these projects:
The first systems under the project were installed in October at the National
Wind Technology Center and at the Browning, Montana wastewater facility. |

The
picture on the left shows the four Bergey 10 kW turbines installed on 100 ft (30
m) self-supporting lattice towers at the Browning, MT site. "We chose the
Bergey turbines because the wind up here is pretty fierce and we needed a
turbine we could count on" says Marty Wilde of Siyeh Development
Corp. In fact two-thirds of the installations under the DOE FVP project
will utilize Bergey wind turbines.
