Max 450W Vertical Axis 12V AC Wind Turbine Generator for Land or Marine Use Package Includes: Wind turbine Generator Output Adapter Certification: CE, RoHS and ISO 9001:2000 Installation Reference - not to scale - for reference only (Inverters, batteries, controller, solar panels are not included in this listing. ) What is VAWT and why use VAWT? VAWT stands for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, unlike conventional HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine), it can take wind in from any direction to generate electricity. This eliminates vertical sweeping turbine blades that are mechanically hazardous, Slip rings that will wear out over time, and the big Tail Vane leaving the overall design of the the wind turbine more compact, clean and efficient. In addition, with the newly design motor, the turbine is able to start spinning at 1.5m/s! Animation to demonstrate wind can be taken in from any direction (Sample picture only - please refer to top of the page for the model you are getting) Connection Overview: The Wind Generator will generate power from the alternator and from there produce AC electricity, From there you will need either a charge controller or rectifier to charge 12V batteries directly. (Note: 12V Batteries, controller and rectifier are not included.) If your home or farm is connected to the power grid, on windy days you may be able to sell excess power generated by your wind turbine to your utility. At other times when the turbine cannot generate all the power you need, you would buy power from the grid. This concept is called net metering. Even if net metering is unavailable, you might be able to reduce your power bills by using the electricity generated by wind turbines, and become less dependent on your utility. Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine. Power curve: Performance curve of power output versus wind speed Since wind speed increases with height, increases to the tower height can mean enormous increases in the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.
