What is wind energy?

Wind power is used to convert wind energy into other useful forms of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electricity, wind mills for mechanical power, wind pumps for pumping water or drainage. Wind energy is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels, it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions.

What are its applications?

Small-scale wind power system Small wind turbine charges a 12/24V battery to run 12/24V appliances, or with the aid of inverter to run common AC appliances of low wattage, can provide electricity to isolated houses and farms. Small-scale wind power is the wind generation systems with the capacity to produce up to 50 kW of electrical power. Isolated communities may use wind turbines to displace diesel fuel consumption. Individuals may purchase these systems to reduce or eliminate their dependence on grid electricity, or to reduce their carbon footprint. On request, we add grid-tie wind power system in the catalogue including 2Kw,3Kw and 5Kw.

What kind of products do you sell?

We supply small wind power turbines, hybrid solar and wind systems and wind power gadgets.

What are wind turbines?

Wind turbines also known as wind generators or wind chargers, generate electricity from the wind. We focus on small wind turbines below 3kw in wattage with high efficiency, reliability and low cost for residential use, yachts and small boats etc. Small wind turbines are featured low start-up wind speed, lightweight, easy to install and maintenance free. Generally 2 types of wind turbines are available: horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT). Some examples are shown here.


What is a hybrid system?

A hybrid system that combines wind and photovoltaic (PV) offers several advantages over either wind or solar system. In most places, the wind speed is low in the summer while the sun shines brightest and longest, the wind is strong in the winter while there is less sunlight available. Because the peak operating times for wind and PV occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it. The hybrid system is easy to expand by adding more solar panels or wind turbines.
Main Components of Hybrid Power System:
• Solar Panel • WindTurbine • Charge Controller • Inverter • Battery Bank

What is a charge controller?

Wind charge controller is vital for any wind turbine used to charge a battery bank, different from solar charge controller to ensure that the wind turbine is constantly under load to prevent it from overspeed and being damaged in strong winds. The wind solar hybrid charge controller is designed for wind/solar hybrid power system to control the wind power charging battery under constant voltage and the solar charging together.
The wind solar hybrid charge controller-inverter is also available, to manage the power from wind turbine and solar panel for charging the battery bank, while convert 12/24VDC into 220V pure sine wave AC to power AC electrical appliances. The configurations and parameters can be customized.


What is a wind-solar hybrid controller and inverter?

The wind/solar hybrid controller-inverter is featured easy operation and LCD display, multi-protections for over-charge, over-voltage, over-temperature, under-voltage, reverse connection, automatic dump-load, constant voltage charging-PWM, moreover, the America-made micro chip and other imported components are used to guarantee high efficiency, reliable operation and long service life.


What is a pure sine wave inverter?

The stand-alone pure sine wave inverter is designed for converting DC from storage battery into rated AC output voltage for various home appliances ( such as TV, computer, Light, vacuum cleaner and so on) with featured with LCD display, easy operation and perfect protections against low battery voltage, over load, short circuit, overheat, reverse connection etc .
With American micro-chip, it is really reliable, high efficiency and long service life.

What kind of battery will this system use?

We recommend LADC batteries. This Lead-acid deep cycle battery is valve-regulated (VRLA) battery, sealed, leak-proof and maintenance free, fixes the acid electrolyte in an absorptive fiberglass mat. The oxygen evolved from the positive plates diffuses through the micro porous glass fiber mat to the negative plates where it is changed back to water by recombination reaction, eliminating the need for water addition.
A deep-cycle battery can discharge down to 80% depending on the manufacturer and construction of the battery.

How will the entire system work together?

The system will function as a grid-tie power system.

A grid-tie wind power system is composed of wind turbine, wind controller, wind grid-tie inverter and metering device. Wind turbine converts wind energy into AC power, and the wind controller converts the AC into DC power while protects the wind turbines, then the wind grid-tie inverter converts the DC into AC of the same frequency and phase and feed-in the grid.
