For turbine manufacturers with their own rectifier / dump load and turbine control, the Voltsys Power Control unit allows any wind or hydro turbine to work with the wide range of ABB solar inverters.
Wind and most hydro turbines need power extracted at different rates, depending on the RPM or turbine voltage. This is known as a power curve, or power table, and usually the ratio is non-linear as per the example graph on the left. In the past, wind inverters provided the ability to enter a power curve.
The Voltsys Inverter Control Unit provides power curve control for ABB solar inverters, including the Trio and Uno DM range of inverters.
This means that solar inverters can now be used as wind inverters. The load on the generator is increased based on a generator speed or DC voltage and that power is then exported to the grid by the inverter.
The control unit also provides data logging to a micro-SD card. Programming the power curve and other settings is done by loading a setup file on the micro-SD card and a USB port allows for monitoring turbine performance on a laptop.
