Small Wind Electric Systems Wind Turbine Electrical Output – Electricity from a spinning shaft Balance of Systems – Types – Components

First Things First. What does a small wind turbine produce? Wild Alternating Current (Wild AC) – “Wild” due to the fluctuating voltage, current and frequency. – Why is this? Most modern small wind turbines are direct drive permanent magnet systems (there are exceptions) – In most cases the wild AC needs to be rectified. Conversion of Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) WILD ACDC Hz

Electricity from a Spinning Shaft Click Here for Animation

Why Alternating Current? Simplicity of permanent magnets alternators This AC power is rectified to Direct Current regardless of battery or grid-tie configuration. 3 phase output is most common

Why Three Phase? Most effective use of space and materials!

Grid-Tie with Battery Backup Controller

Grid-Tie with Battery Backup Benefits: – Potential sale of excess energy – Battery backup during electrical grid failure – Incentives supported Downfalls: – Expensive – Added maintenance (batteries)

Batteryless / Direct Grid-Tie Systems Controller

Benefits: – Sale of excess energy to the grid – Lower system cost – Incentives supported Downfalls: – No battery back up. If the grid fails you are left in the dark.

Direct Drive Batteryless System Controller

Benefits: – Simplicity – Lowest in cost (no balance of system needed) Downfalls: – Only power loads when resource is available – Heating applications require large turbines
