ok i have a 600w 48v pma ac 3 phase unit mounted 40' up. it came with a hybrid controller but currently do not have that hooked up. atm i have it running through a bridge rectifier i bought from windy nation, then going to a 500w wind gti. i bought from hear http://www.chinesegrid.com/Wind-Grid-Tie-Inverter/ my problem is with a good 15-20mph wind i am only getting around 20 to 40 watts of ac power. i tried hooking it up to the controller and running the gti through the batteries output, but saw no increase in wattage. it sounds like the gti is slowing down the turbine not keeping it at an efficant speed for the wind. keeping the turbine below 14volt. any suggestions?
Do you think that would help? The one I have is rated 10-30volt wich the highest voltage I've seen was 17 on a gust then the gti took it right back down to 14volt. They are 6ft dia blades that came with the Pma. Ari 600 watt turbine.
You can ask Leamy. They are using 22-60 volt GTI and are having great success. But as I have found out. You have to have real clean wind. With the turbulence I have I get better results with 10.8-30 volt Gti with running more blades. So basically if you have clean wind the answer should be yes. The 10.8-30 volt will drag it down before it can even start producing any kind of power and stall it basically.
well the wind all depends i have trees to my south west, but when the wind is blowing from the west, north east i have clean wind. is there a way to use my 10.8-30 gti? or should i just buy a 60 volt? oh could you pass on a link for the gti thx
I get my GTIs off of Ebay. Most turbines we do not use GTIs that are low end rated less than half of the design of the generator voltage. That is why I suggested the 22-60 volt wind sunG GTI.
ok, i purchased the 60volt model, could i use my 30volt dc wind for solar? and was wondering, i have 2 300w for my solar pannels and would relly like to put them in a inclosure outside next to the pannels. im worried that they would become to hot and burn out? is there an inclosure with ventlation built in. or is this somthing that would haft to be fabed up?
Jared I also have a ari 750 wind turbine. I have been working my system for about a year. Your 10-30v inverter is dragging down the turbine. You really need to have a 22-60 inverter on it. I am currently working out two different systems. Both systems use the included charge controller. It has a braking function that slows the turbine down when hit by gusts and dump load at 60v. The first system uses two inverters of the same voltage type. I just ran it through some 30mph wind with power out put of 450 to 800w. although it did struggle to push into the higher voltage. The second system I am working on is using one 22-60 sun g 600w and one 50-100v powerjack 1200w. The hope is that it would allow the turbine to spin up to the higher end and then yield more watts. Now just need some big wind to test it.
well ill try it, my average wind speed is around 15-12mph, unless a storm rolls through. ill use the charge controller. i guess ill see what happens. thanks for the advice!
could i use my 500w wind for solar? and was wondering, i have 2 300w for my solar pannels and would relly like to put them in a inclosure outside next to the pannels. im worried that they would become to hot and burn out? is there an inclosure with ventlation built in. or is this somthing that would haft to be fabed up?
I would say you could use a 500w wind inverter for solar the only difference is the dump load bypass on the wind version. I also would like to move my inverters outside in some sort of enclosure but I am also worried about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. I don't know of anything yet but if you fab something up please post pictures.
