The ET 255.04 wind turbine converts wind into a rotary motion. A generator is then used to convert this rotational movement into electricity. The generator is a three-phase, brushless permanent magnet generator. To prevent damage due to rotor overspeed under irregular operating conditions, the wind turbine is equipped with an emergency stop switch as a safety device.
The ET 255.04 wind turbine is designed for use with the ET 255 energy system. The connection is established via an integrated rectifier with a built-in voltage converter and charge controller. The microprocessor-controlled electronics in the rectifier are used to optimise power generation capacity. The battery from ET 255 can be charged using the charge controller.
In order study the combined use of solar and wind energy, ET 255.04 and ET 255 are combined with the photovoltaic modules of ET 255.02 or the photovoltaic simulator ET 255.01.
Measured values for wind speed, current and voltage at the output of the generator are monitored and transmitted to the GUNT software in ET 255. The GUNT software in ET 255 is network-compatible and enables experiments to be monitored, recorded and analysed at any number of workstations via the customer’s own network.
