If you are interested in opting for environment friendly power sources then wind energy might be a good choice. However, before you set out to purchase a wind inverter, there are certain things you should keep in mind and need to consider. This goes beyond the need to understand the power requirements of your home and office.
Some factors you need to keep in mind for wind inverter installation Dublin are:
- There has to be a match between the wind inverter and the turbine controller or the wind interface. The latter part of the system uses a rectifier to transform uncontrolled AC coming from the turbine and changes it to DC. Other functions of the interface include controlling the dump load resistor in situations where the wind speed is extremely high.
- How frequently and for what purpose will you be using your wind inverter? Do you need it on a daily basis for powering your entire home or as a back up? This will determine the efficiency level expected from the inverter. The wind turbine inverters which come with motor drives are less efficient than ones which are specifically built to convert DC energy to grid voltage. You need to check the efficiency of your inverter from the data sheet coming with it. It is also important to note that the efficiency mentioned will not remain constant for all periods and it will range from anything between 50% and 98%. Talk to the wind inverter manufacturer Dublin about the expected maximum efficiency from the inverter keeping in mind the voltage and turbine power.
- Where will you be using the inverter? Will it be anywhere outdoor or in a shade? There are wind inverters which should be placed somewhere airy and might not function properly under a shed.
- Grid tie inverters are the most commonly used ones and they synchronize the electricity produced with the AC electricity utility grade of the grid. This was the wind electricity can be sent to the utility grid. These kinds of inverters come with or without batteries. If you live in an area where wind is not always available, you might consider the model with the battery since it will give you some back up in case of adverse situations.
- Last but not the least, your system configuration must be correct.
