10kW Permanent Magnet Generator II

10kW Generator in Telecom

During past seven years the installation of telecom grids all over the world has increased many folds. During these competitive times, the telecom companies are expanding their networks to regions where there are no electric grids also. The small wind industry is a key player in this field. Wind turbines like 10kW turbines find a huge potential in these areas by providing uninterrupted power supply throughout the day 365 days a year.

Direct Drive 10kW

The many advantages of 10kW permanent magnet generator especially a 10 kW are reliability, efficiency and reduction in the overall cost of producing electricity. In the direct drive method power is taken directly from the wind turbine without any reductions which was earlier provided by a gearbox.

A 10kW turbine fitted with a direct driven mechanism offers many advantages, some of which are as follows:

• More efficient – No power wastage from belts, chains, gearbox etc
• Drive Stiffness – Avoiding gearbox results in removal of mechanical backlash, hysteresis and elasticity
• High torque at low speed
• Noise reduction
• Increased lifetime
• The positioning is faster and accurate

Other features of a 10kW design

Since a 10kW wind generator becomes a large unit and weight is more, the mounting arrangement like tower is made from high tensile foundations. Mechanical fail safe braking system is incorporated for to stop the turbine operations. Heat sensors, over voltage sensors etc are fitted to keep the machinery safe from any damage. Wind shutdown mechanisms are installed to keep the kit from getting blown away at very high wind speeds; an act that can be of danger to the set up.
