Wind energy can be used as kinetic
energy to provide rotation of the wind turbine blades generating electrical current.
This electrical current is referred to as variable 3-phase alternating current (a/c).
This variable a/c is converted to direct current (d/c) by using various rectifiers. It
is fed back into a grid-tie inverter converting it into a/c single-phase electrical
power. It is then synchronized with the incoming grid (incoming electricity from power
company) as the power is being used in a residential or commercial facility. The wind
turbine/wind mill system can be used with battery charging banks for back-up power for
homes. Some also use wind turbines to boost the performance of solar systems. Clean
energy from the wind eliminates pollution and the by-product of these systems is
spinning the utility meter backwards (reducing kilowatt usage and saving the customer
money).
CWE-FRE -- FEATURES
- The controller includes a dump load rated for twice the kw capacity and uses the latest technology (PWM) Pulse Width Modulation.
- Generator uses Neodymium (iron-boron) permanent magnets.
- Generator incorporates slip-ring technology with replaceable 15-20-year life brushes, eliminating the problem of cable twisting.
- Units have 3-braking systems. Plus additional manual brake on 10kw & 20kw units
- Blades are special reinforced fiber glass with dense fill of poly-urethane and are designed for low noise.
- All parts are electrostatic powder coated and hardware is stainless steel.
Competition (moving parts that can fail):
- Servos that can fail due to high torque imposed on them, trying to furl in high winds.
- Use dog-vane and anemometers that are inexpensive (plastic) and can cause failure.
- Controller circuit boards are non-adjustable and are prone to failure.
- Only one braking system (dump load). Should it fail the blades would over spin causing complete destruction of the unit.
