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

[Chris Daum]

Hah! What about Midnight Solar's Clipper?  Still, combining that with a
grid-tie inverter will undoubtedly be more than he wants to spend!
 
Thanks for the input, Roy.

And with most all of these grid tie wind inverters, they rely heavily on an
external voltage clamp/ limiter.
With the Aurora it was the MWI interface.

I don't believe these are available anymore.

Grid-tie wind inverters are getting almost as hard to find as affordable 72
cell replacement modules ;-)

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.

Chris,

 

What is the wattage rating of the wind turbine?

 

And is that 48-60 VDC directly out of the turbine, or is that what comes out
of the turbine's "controller"? To put that another way, are there just two
wires coming out of the turbine, or three wires?

Hello Wrenches:

 

I have an inquiry from a fellow with a 48V wind generator (it puts out
between 48 and 60VDC).  It's an old Cyclone, originally made in Canada.
He's wanting a grid-tie inverter to lessen his electrical bill; I know he
could use an Outback but he doesn't want to fool with batteries.  Anyone got
any ideas what inverter might work for him?

 

Best,
