The
W03 Winglette wind generator can be configured
with either a stand alone tower, or a guy wired tower; with
a battery bank and DC/AC inverter, or with a Grid tie Inverter
without a battery set.
The
applications can vary from generating electricity for a home
on a rural site, or for selling power back to the utility Company.
To learn more about any particular part of the system, consider

The
following summarizes the different components of a complete Winglette wind generation installation.
Winglette W03 wind generator:
The Winglette is a horizontal-axis, upwind, propeller
type, machine.The Winglette wind turbine consists of a three
blade rotor, a generator, a main frame, and a tail. Its blades
are manufactured out of fiberglass with a highly polished UV-stabilized
finish. The rotor is fitted with a parabolic fiber glass nose
cap.The support housing of the alternator is fitted onto a turntable
which turns the head of the machine in and out of the wind as
required.
Guy
wired towers:
The guy wired, lattice galvanized steel towers of the Winglette
wind generator, are manufactured using bolted steel profiles.
The anchors and guy wires secure stability and strength. A well
designed guy wired tower, can be superior in strength, reliability,
and tower cost, if compared with a stand alone tower.
Tower
heights available from 12m(40ft) to 30m(100ft). They weigh less
than stand alone towers. They have increased stability at heights
exceeding 18m. Any possible defects can easily be inspected
for. Installation is a fast, but technically sophisticated.
They have huge savings in cost when compared to similar stand
alone towers.
Stand
alone towers:
The stand alone, lattice galvanised steel towers of the Winglette
wind generator, are manufactured using bolted steel profiles.Our
stand alone towers are offered to heights of 100ft(30m).
They
weigh less than tubular- or pre-stress concrete towers. They
have increased stability. Any possible defects can easily be
inspeced for. Installation is a relative easy procedure. They
have huge savings in cost when compared to similar towers. Usually
about half (1/2) of that of a tubular tower. They have less
wind shade than solid type towers. They are relative inexpensive
to manufacture.
Controllers:
A charge controller is an essential part of your Winglette wind
generator system. Its purpose is to keep your battery bank properly
fed and safe for the long run. Your charge controller has the
basic function of blocking reverse current and preventing battery
over charging.
Battery
banks:
A
good sized, and well maintained, battery bank, is the basis
of almost all offgrid power generation systems, whether wind
power, solar power, or engine driven generators. A good size
battery bank for a 3kWatt wind generator is 400 ampere-hour.
That means if you buy 2Volt cells, and have a 36Volts system,
buy 18 of 400 ampere-hour cells. If you buy 12Volt, 100 amp-hr
units, you will need 3 x 4 , that is 12 batteries.
DC/AC
Inverters:
The inverter converts the DC of your battery bank, to AC. It
also changes the voltage from the 36 or 48Volts of the batteries,
to 240Volts alternating current required by your appliances.
In other words, it is a power adapter. It can allow a battery-based
independent power system, to run conventional appliances through
conventional home wiring. For any normal situation, you will
need an inverter for almost all the devices that use electricity
as power source. .
