wind controller [RE-wrenches]

[Jon Haeme]

The Outback  FlexMax 80 can be used with the ARE110 and a voltage 
limiter. Kestrel also uses the Outback MX-60 with a voltage limiter. 
Wind turbines can reach excessively high voltages and some manufacturers 
have started using voltage limiters to allow for longer wire runs on 
battery charging units by upping the voltage to 200 volts from the 
turbine then limit it to 130 V before the MPPT controller.

I would like to see Xantrex make an 80 amp MPPT controller that could be 
used with a voltage limiter on a wind turbine. It would be nice combined 
with solar PV, the XW6048 inverter and the Xanbus network. All the input 
info on one control panel !
