What parts are needed in a wind power system?
- Batteries (for off-grid and backup systems) provide energy storage for periods of calm or during utility grid outages.
- A charge controller and/or voltage clamp take raw energy from a wind generator and condition it so it can charge batteries safely and effectively or interface with an inverter and the utility grid.
- Disconnects and overcurrent protection provide safety from overloaded circuits and allow you to isolate different parts of the system.
- A dump load is a place to divert excess energy in off-grid systems or when the utility grid is down, it’s windy, and your batteries are full.
- An inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity to conventional household alternating current (AC) electricity, and it may “sell” surplus electricity to the utility grid.
- Loads in a system are energy-using devices, such as lights, appliances, and other electricity users.
- Metering gives you data display and logging so you can tell what your system is doing and whether it’s performing well.
- A tower supports a wind generator, getting it up into the smooth, strong wind that’s needed to generate meaningful amounts of electricity.
- Transmission wiring and conduit allow you to transfer energy from where it’s made to where it’s stored and used.
- Wind generators (or turbines) collect the energy in the wind and use it to make electricity.
