The Skystream 3.7 wind turbine nacelle, generator and blades prove to be a fairly reliable asset within the turbine system which would allow for a viable upgrade retrofit. The key elements around the upgrade and retrofit are: the inverter, power curve, rpm limiter and slip rings. The major component of the upgrade is the ability to control the blade speed in high winds. NTP Wind Power has designed a method to control the wind turbine during high winds although all the parts of the upgrade are key to the entire upgrade package.
