Elettronica Veneta WG Automated Wind Power Generator

Click2Contact

The Automated Wind Power Generator by Elettronica Veneta represents the typical configuration of a wind-power generator used to directly convert wind kinetic energy into mechanical energy. The equipment includes a horizontal axis wind generator; its tower has a nacelle which contains the driving shaft, the electric generator and the auxiliary devices. The nacelle can rotate to keep the machine axis parallel to the wind direction.

The system can only start when the wind speed reaches a minimum starting threshold (approximately 3 m/s). An inverter and a storage battery enable the evaluation of energy transport and storage devices. A set of power-consuming devices (lamps) are used to simulate the operation of a typical stand-alone wind power system. When connected with a PC, the supervision and remote measure system, available on the control and supervision panel, will monitor the main electrical operational parameters, both in direct current (before the inverter) and in alternate current (after the inverter).

The training program covers the study of wind energy (calculation of the average power developed by the wind on a specific place); wind power generator; ‘brushless’ generator; study of the operation of the voltage regulator according to the variation of the wind speed; energy conversion; devices for storing energy. Typical applications include illumination, power supply of remote telecommunication equipment, charging batteries and more.
