[RE-wrenches] Grid-tie inverter for wind generator

[boB at midnitesolar.com]

Power One (now ABB) had their Aurora GT inverter for wind that I believe 
worked down
to around 48 volts.  It was (is ?) an MPPT wind inverter kind of like 
the SMA Windy Boy was
so would  raise its input voltage as the wind blows faster.

Now that ABB has taken over Power One, I can't seem to find this one on 
their web site
but I probably just haven't looked long and hard enough.

I hope it's still available.  It did a pretty good job as I remember.
