A device for converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
Wind turbine (wind turbine)
Wind turbines can be divided into 3 categories: industrial, commercial and residential (private use).
The industrial ones are installed by the state or by large energy corporations.
Typically, they are combined into networks, resulting in a wind power plant (WPP).
The main difference between WPPs and conventional ones (thermal, nuclear) is the total absence of both raw materials and waste. The only important requirement for wind power plants is a high annual average wind level. The capacity of modern wind generators reaches 7,5 MW.
There are classifications of wind turbines by the number of blades, by the materials from which they are made, by the axis of rotation and by the pitch of the propeller.
There are two main types of wind turbines:
- with a vertical axis of rotation ("carousel" rotors (including the "Savonius rotor"),
- "bladed" orthogonal ones - the Darier rotor);
- with horizontal axis of rotation (winged).
The wind turbine consists of:
- wind turbine mounted on a mast with stays and spun by rotor or blades;
- electric generator;
The electricity obtained is fed into the:
- A battery charge controller connected to the batteries (usually maintenance free 24 V)
- Inverter (= 24V -> ~ 220V 50Hz) connected to the mains view. Stay Eco
