Hidden cost of old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling Low Efficiency Blades:

1. Even with larger swept area, due to the low production quality and poor aerodynamic design, these old style blades can’t capture the power in the wind efficiently. see below table for details.

2. Poor performance:The furling mechanism is not responsive to the constant changes of wind speed and wind direction. The furling system kicks in either too early or too late to go back to normal operation. This results in poor performance.

3. High Maintenance cost: The furling components are easy to wear out and break. They need lots of maintenance…therefore they are not a good long term investment.

4. Heavy Weight: wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling are heavy…therefore they have higher shipping cost, hard to install and maintain.

5. High Noise Level:Old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling is developed without noise control in mind, NOT neighborhood friendly.

6. Low survival wind speed: 78 mph (35 m/s) survival wind speed can’t withstand high winds without damage and turbine needs to be taken down when wind speed exceeds 78 mph, output will diminish during high wind speed events.

Design Features

Advanced over-speed control mechanism vs. old style furling

Problems with old style furling:

Old style furling works well in an ideal, wind tunnel test environment. Realistically, wind speed and wind direction changes frequently and mechanical furling doesn’t have instantaneous response to actual changes of wind status. Especially in bad weather conditions, small wind turbine furling components wear out quickly, therefore, increases maintenance costs and shorten wind turbine service life or causes system failure.

Most of old style furling based wind turbines have three moving parts. It is the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection that wear out and require a lot of maintenance. Operation of furling based wind turbines would lead to mechanical abrasion, cause vibration, malfunction, and failure of the wind turbine and other devastating results in the long run.

The rule of thumb for a reliable wind turbine is that the fewer the moving parts, the more reliable the wind turbine is.

Windmax Solution:

Windmax H series adopted Innovative over-speed control so it improves the reliability by abandoning the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection and minimizing the moving parts to only two.

Innovative over-speed control design of the Windmax H series:

Windmax H series speed limitation abandoned the traditional failure-prone mechanical furling system and solved safety and reliability problems facing most small wind turbines. Advanced speed limitation of Windmax H series is achieved through advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator.

Combination of Electromagnetic braking and aerodynamic braking maximizes energy capture by extending Windmax H series turbine’s operating speed range into higher speed winds and lower speed winds which are missed by the old style wind turbines.

1. Electromagnetic speed limitation:

Controller will monitor the wind generator rotation through the wind generator output voltage and frequency, and will timely control wind generator rotation by generating reverse reluctance torque if necessary, according to different wind conditions and battery status. Electromagnetic control features quick response, high reliability and therefore ensures the entire control system to be highly reliable.

2. Blade aerodynamic braking:

In high wind speed conditions, patented blades will generate a reverse reluctance torque, so that the blade efficiency falls and the blade rotation speed starts to decline. With the continuing reluctance torque, blade rotation speed is limited to a certain range to prevent damage to the wind turbine blades.

Higher performance at low wind speed Problem with small wind turbine system on the market today The most challenging problem facing small wind turbine systems is that power output is very low or close to nothing under low wind condition. The wind speed in most locations don’t stay at rated wind speed all the time, wind turbine actually operates at wind speed lower than rated wind speed at most of the time. In order to have good overall energy output, it is critical for small wind turbine to output as much as power at low wind speed. WindMax Solution: Strong Neodymium magnet PMA, unique winding and multi pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures the WINDMAX-H series can generate electricity at low wind speed. WindMax system components such as wind generator and blades are designed to output more electricity at low wind speed than other small wind turbines on the market today. WindMax system’s excellent power output under low wind speed results in greater energy production yield and lowest ownership cost.

Wind-solar hybrid power generation wind turbine system

Problem with single source renewable energy system:

1st Generation single source renewable energy systems such as solar systems or wind turbines don’t use renewable energy efficiently. Wind turbines creates less output during the summer, whereas during the winter the solar panels will produce less output.

Windmax Solution:

Our Windmax hybrid solar-wind turbine integrated wind and solar power sources capture the most energy in all conditions. Since solar and wind energy availability differs by locations, seasons and climates, solar and wind energy can be mutually complementary in that solar and wind hybrid systems make full use of wind and solar energy together to generate as much power as possible compared to a single energy source for power generation. A solar & wind hybrid system is more cost-efficient than wind or solar alone.

Easy-to-install, light weight, compact, reliable and maintenance-free wind turbines, designed for both land-based and marine applications.

Problem with old style wind turbine systems:Most old style wind turbines are heavy weight with unpredictable reliability, hard to install and require lots of maintenance. Due to the fact that most installations are in very remote and inaccessible locations, the old style systems make regular maintenance costly and sometimes impractical. Windmax Solution:Windmax H series maintenance free design has a minimum of moving parts with inherent reliability. Our light weight, compact die-casting aluminum alloy generator design makes installation very easy. Rotor blades built with latest advanced thermoplastic engineering and precision injection molding technology is durable and efficient.

WindMax H series components built with advanced technologies Generator:

Generator: The generator is built using high-performance rare earth neodymium permanent magnets, so the alternator is compact and light weight with a high power generating efficiency. The unique winding and multi pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures the WINDMAX-H series can generate electricity at low wind speed. The generator features class B insulation, IP55 class protection, and is designed with a sufficient cushion of overload to ensure overall wind turbine reliability.

Build Your Own Domestic Wind Turbine

Building your own domestic wind turbine is not as difficult as you may think. However forethought and planning will make all the difference in how effective your turbine wind generators are at providing power.

When looking to build you own wind turbine there are a few things you should consider first.

Your total power requirements – this will determine balde size and number of turbines
How windy is my site – Reduce the initial estimate by 30-50% (we will explain below)
Placement – Do I have good sites on te roof. Will my neighbours or the local council object?

Your Total Power Requirements.
A general rule for calculating how many and what size of domestic wind turbine you require is this. A average modern home consumes around 4,500 kWh. a year. In rough terms a domestic wind turbine with a 2 metre rotor diameter can yield (in good conditions) 500 kWh. per year. Alternatively a domestic wind turbine with a 5 metre rotor diameter can yield closer to 4,500 kWh on a good site. As you see the relationship between rotor diameter and power generation is not linear.

So firstly determine you annual kWh. power needs. From then determine how many and what type of domestic wind turbine you will install. Lastly,determine where will you install them?

How Windy is my site
Many people overestimate the wind speed and quality around their home. This is because the same building, trees and obstacles that make the wind sound like it is howling, are also cutting the force of the wind. This is why we generally lower the estimate on wind speed if the home is in a urban or suburban area. This ensures that we don’t underestimate the number of turbine wind generators we need.

Also look into the different types of turbine wind generator. Research what different types of wind generator will best suit your needs. In terms of building your own domestic wind turbine the key thing is to get a balance between your needs and your skills. It may be easier to build and site more smaller wind generators than a few big 5 metre, or vertical turbine wind generators.

Placement
In simple terms their are two options. On short towers on the roof on buildings. On tall ground towers. The vast majority of domestic wind turbine are placed on the roof, on a tower at a height that ensures the wind’s force is not dampened by the roof structure. They can also of coure be placed on a free standing towers away from any buildings or trees.

The key thing is to determine numbers, size and placement before you begin. In this way little complications like the domestic wind generator being too large for the place you have choosed, or not having enough wind in that spot, can be avioded.

Were to Get Plans for Building a Domestic Wind Turbine
You can find many plans for building turbine wind generators online, however this may not be the perfect solution. Firstly any alternative energy generation plan should have multiple power sources. For this reason you should always at least consider solar to supplement any power, even just installing diy solar water heating will help.

Build A Small Wind Generator Using Diy Kit

I have seen many people getting confused with the output of small wind generator and really it is a total misconception. Actually its the speed of the wind, which is responsible for generating electricity for your home and whether you have installed a large or small wind generator hardly matters. So, depending on the space available in your courtyard or backyard, you can plan a suitable size wind generator and can start generating electricity from it regularly.

If your aim is to install a small wind generator and the average wind speed in your area is in the range of seven to ten miles per hour, you can generate electricity up to 1 kilowatt. Getting electricity at almost no cost from renewable source is quite possible and hundreds of thousands people are generating electricity from wind and saving their electricity bills up to 80 percent each and every month. A few people living in coastal areas or windy areas are generating electricity even from small wind generator in excess and selling the surplus electricity to state electricity-marketing companies.

Although you can get ready made small wind generator in excess of $2000, however if you can follow simple video instructions, you can build your own small wind generator within $ 200. You will not only saving huge money every month but you will be protecting our environment using green energy. So, hurry up and if you have not yet decided, decide quickly and build your own small wind generator.
