    Power DC Voltage limiter with dump load for wind turbine

    Thanks again Guys, Yes, it's a Proven with WindyBoy. The problem is that the WindyBoy doesn't allow much leeway if you start going over its rating - so a 6kW Proven feeding a 6kW WindyBoy will start to have problems if the blades don't regulate the output at just about 6kW. The Proven is very...

    Power DC Voltage limiter with dump load for wind turbine

    Thanks guys, For clarity - we don't make the turbine, we install them and it's a long established and pretty successful model. The turbine is a downwind design and so doesn't furl in the traditional sense. Speed governance is controlled via the blades pitching and 'folding' back to reduce...

    Power DC Voltage limiter with dump load for wind turbine

    Thanks itsmoked, Mechanically adjusting the turbine so its power output is reduced to the 6kW it should be is also being tried as a first approach - but isn't quite as straightforward as it might be. I just want to also examine electrical control options. Joe

    Power DC Voltage limiter with dump load for wind turbine

    Hi, We've a problem on a wind turbine installation and suspect this may appear on other installations. The setup: a. 6kW turbine outputing 3-phase AC - voltage and frequency varying with windspeed, connected to b. Rectifying controller - which basically rectifies 3-phase AC to DC. Output from...
