Small Wind Industry moves towards higher kilowatts
Power generation for the small wind industry is experiencing a change. The demand for higher power turbines is increasing in many markets all around the world. Demand is moving from less than 1kw to 5kw and higher. These are generally for home purposes or businesses. Typically the speed of these 5kw horizontal wind turbines ranges from 200 rpm to 450 rpm at the rated output for the permanent magnet generator. Producing more power than required lets one store the excess generation in batteries which can be used whenever required or even sell the excess generation back to the state grid in countries which allow it. This is an innovative way to generate and store energy which can have low payback periods through PMGL’s wind permanent magnet generators.
