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.

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.

Generator housing is made with precision cast technology from high strength aluminum to assure a high quality finish.

Solar And Wind Power: A Solution For The Homes Energy Needs

One big factor that hinders people in their quest for alternative energy sources is the amount of money involved. Past experiences have proven that one will have to count years and thousands of dollars on investment before any profit is realized in building a solar or a wind power system. Nonetheless, there is but another means to utilize the abundant natural energy that we have at a relatively cheaper price. It is more economical in the sense that you will install the system yourself and need not hire an outside company to do it for you.

Ultimately, the advantages of solar and wind power must first be discussed. A household should have both systems since it is not guaranteed that the sun will always shine o that the wind will always blow. At night when there is no sun, you can still produce free electricity through your wind power generator.

The foremost benefit of solar power is the efficiency that it brings especially when the weather is mostly sunny. In addition, there are no movable components making it easier to maintain. If the area where you are from has the sun present 80% of the time, then it is far better to use solar panels for your energy source. Nonetheless, it is still better to have both the wind and the sun for your homes energy needs.
On the contrary, wind power or wind generator is of greater benefit if your home is located in an area where there is a lot of wind. In most cases, wind turbines are built up above the tree line to make sure that enough wind is acquired. If the wind speed is 5 miles per hour or more, this can already generate electric power. Furthermore, with the use of a good generator, your electric bill will even lessen drastically.
For the abovementioned systems, you have the option to choose whether your system will be directly connected to your power grid (this makes your meter rotate backwards when there is more energy produced by your system) or if you intend to store the extra electricity into batteries with high capacity. The electric power that will be produced unfortunately is in DC form of current, therefore, a converter is needed in order to transform the DC current into AC that is being utilized in the home.
You have to remember that you can build your solar or wind power generator at a minimum cost. You can take advantage of the kits that are sold in the market nowadays. Moreover, you can research from websites about the set up instructions and improvements. Constructing your own solar and wind power generator is a good idea in line with todays economic crisis. It has been proven to be both economical and effective.
