We can supply wind turbines to suite your individual cost and needs from 300w to 300kw Tech2000 are fully qualified and dedicated to helping get the correct wind turbine and installation for you.
There are two types of system: Battery based and battery-less grid tie.
For a battery based system you will require:
A Wind Turbine – Captures and converts energy from the wind
Optional Photovoltaic Panels – Captures and converts energy from sunlight
Support Structure – Mounts the turbine in airflow (the higher the better)
Batteries – Stores the generated energy as low voltage DC.
Charge Control Unit – Prevents the batteries from becoming over or undercharged
Inverter – Converts the low voltage electricity to 230V 50Hz alternating current.
An inverter is not always required as low voltage lighting and appliances can be used. These will operate directly from the battery bank. This type of system has the advantage of independence from the grid. This is especially important in remote or rural areas where no mains electricity is available. Another advantage of this type of system is that you can still run your lights when there is a grid failure (power cut).
For a battery-less grid tie system you will require:
A Wind Turbine – Captures and converts energy from the wind
Optional Photovoltaic Panels – Captures and converts energy from sunlight
Support Structure – Mounts the turbine in airflow (the higher the better)
Grid Tie Inverter – Directly converts the electricity to 230V 50Hz
A battery-less grid tie system is much more efficient in terms of energy and costs less to install. However the grid tie inverter must be connected to a mains supply and will only operate whilst the grid is online.
Is it worth it?
Energy companys will now pay up to 15p per kilowatt hour of energy generated.
A 5kw Wind Turbine running throughout evening off peak periods could generate up to £7.50 per night depending on wind conditions.
Annual savings plus upto £3000.00 income per year. |
