Wind Generators for Autonomous Installations (Battery Chargers)


butterfly series

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The line of Wind generators of ENERGOTECH with the name butterfly (bf) incorporates experience of 25 years. Bf is a wind generator drawn entirely from the beginning taking into consideration the most recent technological developments and modern materials, It is intended to function for a long time interval without maintainance.

INNOVATION Α

The planning of bf allows her operation in any speed of wind, because it incorporates a innovation rotor which is redundant to force of wind, via a active system of fluctuation diameter of rotor that is activated by the increased pressure of wind, instant or enduring. This movement of air is checked for consistency by a central piston of double energy (gas Sprint piston) installed in her concave axis, with which are connected her feathers. The result is that, when the wind gives bigger force than her nominal, the diameter is decreased progressively so that it rejects the redundant force of wind, without ever being immobilized. In this way bf can “feel” possible danger and self-protects.

The idea of this movement of ferns that resembles a dance, partly is “borrowed” from the butterfly from which it takes its name.

The blade of bf are theoretically unbreakable from the wind, because they are manufactured by composite materials of high resistance (carbon epoxy) that they are also used in aeronautics.


INNOVATION Β

Another important innovation for so much small force wind generator, is the method of control on the wind directions (Prosanemismos). The small wind generators usually are directed in the wind via a tail van. This method is from one hand economical but presents big losses of energy because with each instant lateral gap it accepts, it gets diverted by the direction of the wind with result the reduction of the number of turns of the generator, fall of voltage and power. Bf hunts the wind via a active system of control that includes small lateral rotor that is turned in an angle 90 degrees in respect to the axis of the rootr and is involved in the vertical axis via a reduced gear.

This method of checked control has as result the immunity to instant lateral gaps and of remaining regularly above in the main direction of the wind. This means less shock, constant tendency and force hence more energy, that in combination with innovation A exceeds 30%.

The generator the bf is multi poled, and its excitation it is achieved by most powerful permanent magnets (neodymium) which are incorporated in the hub of the rotor and is turned immediately by this without the mediation of cogwheels or other means for multiplication of her turns.

The produced three phase current is led to a powerful rectifier unit is stabilized where it is changed in continuous DC current. A advanced charger understands automatically the accumulator voltage accumulators (12.24.48 V), checks their charge. Simultaneously he supplies the inverter so that he gives 230/50 Hz for use in autonomous system (SA) or interconnection in the electric grid (GR).


For the braking bf the natural magnetic field of runner is developed, that is checked by the table of

Basic Advantages

  • Permanent magnet alternator - it produces current in law revolutions and does not require mechanical system for revolutions multiplication
  • Mechanic protection system, thus reliable
  • Excellent construction quality with stainless steel parts for effective protection from the corrosion
  • Easy stopping through a switch
  • Noiseless operation
  • Maintenance - It is not required to be frequent
  • Maintenance - It is not required to be frequent
  • Light weight
  • Long life service
  • In sites where the wind blows usually in low speeds, the parallel installation of a solar generator (photovoltaic panels) is advised so that the energy production relies on two sources: the wind and the sun, and the whole installation is more reliable.

    The current produced by the wind generator (and the PV panels - if they exist), is transferred to the batteries by the Energy Management Unit (EMU). Then, the EMU attributes that current following the voltage 220V AC 50Hz for the operation of home devices. If a grid connection exists, any extra energy produced can be stored there. This will result financial gain from the sale of energy to the power company. A simple block diagram of the installation is shown. The butterfly wind generator is offered in three different versions.
