This paper describes a 22 m diameter, fixed pitch, upwind, horizontal axis, HWP-300 wind turbine. The wind turbine is designed for remote areas and islands where transport costs and fuel costs make conventional power generating methods very expensive. A major feature of the wind turbine is the use of wood laminate/epoxy construction for the 3 fixed pitch blades and their rotatable tips. Topics considered include the operation of the HWP-300, design choices, the 3-bladed rotor (surface geometry and aerodynamic design, structural design, blade root connection, testing of the blades), the drive train, the yaw system, the tower, the control system, erection and maintenance.
