WHY XANT ?
CERTIFIED DESIGN & PERFORMANCE
The XANT M design has been reviewed by DNV-GL in 2011 and a more detailed assessment has been performed by Tüv-Süd in 2017. Power curve and acoustic noise production have been verified by accredited bodies.
CRANE-LESS ERECTION
XANT wind turbines can be erected without a crane, effectively halving the installation costs when compared to bringing a crane on-site. XANT tilt-up towers need only 5 smaller foundations and can even be concrete-less if cement is as hard to get by as a crane on your remote site!
EASY MAINTENANCE
XANT turbines have no components requiring a lot of maintenance (gearbox, pitch system). More complex components such as the converter and control system are easily accessible at ground level. In the case of a tilt-up tower,all maintenance operations can be done on-ground.
LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
XANT wind turbines offer a high reliability where it matters most: in remote locations with difficult access and thus lengthy and costly repairs. The most failure-prone parts have been eliminated ensuring maximum availability at minimum cost.
TOUGHEST OF TURBINES
XANT wind turbines can be equipped for the harshest operating conditions: Extreme Temperature Range versions continue to operate in cold climates. XANT turbines are operated close to shore withstanding extreme wind speeds and very corrosive airs.
PEAK PERFORMANCE
XANT wind turbines have little respect for engineering conventions. Our turbine blades go beyond stall-as-usual thanks to their aeroelastically-tailored geometry. This reduces mechanical loads during storms while maintaining optimum efficiency in low and moderate wind speeds.

Continued improvement in a joint effort with our component suppliers has led to significant production cost reduction of the XANT M platform. Further integration of functions, reduction of the number of bolted interfaces, de-featuring of the first generation XANT M to the essentials have made it possible to generate electricity at a Levelized Cost of[…]
When Mike Stuart decided to invest in his own on-site electricity production, XANT was the obvious choice: the strong winds in the northern tip of Scotland ask for a robust class IA turbine. Gales, often combined with heavy rains, cold spells with snowdrift: the XANT M is being put to a strenuous test. But when[…]
The village of Pilot Point (AK, USA) has been relying upon diesel fuel for its electricity production consuming almost 1,000 barrels (120,000l) of oil per year. Average residential electricity tariffs are in the 0.35$/kWh range. Intelligent Energy Systems together with XANT will convert the existing electricity supply of the village into a hybrid system running[…]
XANT is proud to announce the shipment of another containerized XANT M turbine: a XANT M with tilt-up tower is on its way to Singapore. XANT has been selected by ENGIE Lab to provide a XANT M for their microgrid as part of the Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator-Singapore (REIDS) project. The REIDS project, an initiative[…]
2016 has been a measly wind year: the annual wind index showed a 20% below-long-term-average value. The XANT M at the DEME Group headquarters in Zwijndrecht (BELGIUM) has made the most of it though. At an average wind speed of only 4.5m/s the turbine produced over 183MWh since its installation. At 98% availability, the XANT[…]
To exploit the full potential of midsize wind, projects need the leverage of debt financing: the sector needs to get banks in on the game to play it right! Bankability of midsize wind has always been an issue with very little technology approved by accredited bodies. XANT addresses this by subjecting the XANT M to[…]
