Bergey Wind power is
the world's leading supplier of small wind turbines. With
installations in all 50 U.S. States and more than 90 countries and
an international network , these products are undoubtfuly the best
available in the market today.
An environmentally friendly power
generation source, these windmills are usually set-up in areas
of high speed, constant winds. These wind power offers advanced-technology products
that let homeowners and businesses generate their own clean
power. These turbines are also used for off-grid homes, for
rural electrification, and to boost the performance of solar
electric systems. They generate electric power and feed the
battery source when the blades turn. There are small generators
at the base of the blades that turn mechanical energy into
electrical energy. Steady winds without turbulence are a must
for maximum power. Electricity produced by wind generation can be
used directly, as in water pumping applications, or it can be stored
in batteries for household use when needed. Wind generators can be
used alone, or they may be used as part of a hybrid system. Hybrid
systems are especially useful for winter backup of home systems
where cloudy weather and windy conditions occur
simultaneously.
The most
important decision when considering wind power is determining
whether or not your chosen site has enough wind to generate the
power for your needs, whether it is available consistently, and if
it is available in the season that you need it. To get the most out of the wind you need to
have your machine up in clear air.The higher your wind generator the less it
will be negatively affected by turbulent wind and the more power it
will produce.
| BWC XL.1 |
Wind power's latest product is the 1,000 Watt BWC XL.1. The BWC XL.1 is currently available only as a 24 VDC battery-charging system. With a rotor diameter of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and a peak output of approximately 1,600 watts the XL.1 is intended for the home market and for rural electrification programs in developing countries. It is also a perfect upgrade system for current owners of micro-turbines.
The XL.1 combines a number of advanced technical features, including a completely new airfoil, to provide the highest efficiency and, it carries the exclusive, industry-leading, 5-year warranty.
The XL.1 is an up-wind, horizontal-axis, three- bladed turbine. The blades are pultruded fiberglass, a material that is over ten times stronger than the injection- molded plastic used on most small wind turbines. When the storms come, weak blades can put the whole system at risk.The new airfoil makes the XL.1's blade probably the most efficient ever on a small wind turbine.
The blades attach directly to a specially designed permanent magnet alternator which uses state-of-the-art neodymium super- magnets. An oversized alternator slows the rotor down and makes the turbine very quiet.
Over speed protection is provided by the proven the passive sideways furling system.
It also includes a controller which controls battery charging, has a low-end boost for superior low wind speed performance, slow-mode rotor idling when the batteries are full, an electrical braking system, and also a 30 A controller for the solar modules that are often a part of a complete hybrid system. The power center allows an auxiliary or dump load to be connected to utilize excess wind (and/or solar) power after the batteries are fully charged.
These kits are easy to install and offers customers a complete "ready to install" kit. . |

| BWC Excel |
The BWC EXCEL is a modern 6.7 meter (22 ft) diameter, 10,000W wind turbine designed for high reliability, low maintenance and automatic operation in adverse weather conditions.
It is available in two configurations: battery charging and grid-connected.The BWC Excel is a ruggedly built turbine that comes with the longest warranty (5 years) in the industry.
Battery charging BWC EXCEL's can be supplied with outputs of 48, 120 or 240 VDC. They are well suited for large rural homes, remote villages and facilities, eco-tourism resorts, and larger telecommunications sites. Connected to the grid, the BWC EXCEL can provide most of the electricity for an average total electric home at moderate wind sites. The power processor (inverter) is the most advanced in the industry and it carries the latest utility standards.The BWC EXCEL is most often installed on a guyed lattice tower, available in heights of 18 m (60 ft.) to 37 m (120 ft.). Tilt-up versions of these towers are available for sites without crane access.Non-guyed lattice type towers and monopole towers are also available to heights of 37 m (120 ft). |
