WIND POWERS MARINE RESEARCH
Oy Windside Production Ltd has equipped Marine research centers , lighthouses , and international groups of scientists and other professionals since 1982 . Originally designed and developed for harsh conditions , Windside wind turbines produce clean , grid-free energy even in the most demanding environments . They are corrosion-free and ice resistant , the features of which are a priority for professionals looking for reliable and low-maintenance equipment .
For light houses , the first Windside unit was delivered for Trinity House light house in 1996 and is still operating loyally . Mc Murdo was the first site in Antarctica , where turbines started to operate in 2003 . Those turbines are still in operation today .
Since then , the demand for autonomous power sources has increased together with the need to understand the changing climate and to tolerate extreme weather conditions . Windside wind turbines enable the important work of researchers and other professionals all over the world : Polar institutes , geological and natural Institutes , Antarctic institutes and universities .
Turbines are loyal workers also in platforms , light houses , buoys , vessels and ports , from decade till decade . n
