Solar Montana Offers Bergey 10kW Grid Connected Wind Power Systems

Solar Montana supplies grid connected wind power systems from Bergey Windpower. The Bergey 10kW grid connected wind power system comprises a Bergey Excel wind turbine and a GridTek 10 power processor. The Bergey Excel wind turbine has a total of three upwind blades in an overall rotor diameter of 7 meters. It has a start-up wind speed of 3.4 meters per second, while its cut-in wind speed is 2.5 meters per second. This wind turbine has the capability to generate about 10 kilowatts of power at a rated wind speed of 12 meters per second.

The wind turbine of the grid connected wind power system from Solar Montana has a furling wind speed of 15.6 meters per second and can operate at a maximum wind speed of 60 meters per second. The overspeed protection feature of the Bergey Excel wind turbine includes an autofurl option and the turbine has a fixed pitch control feature. The wind turbine of the 10kW grid connected wind power system has a permanent magnet alternator and operates in temperature conditions ranging from -40 degrees centigrade to +60 degrees centigrade.

The Bergey 10kW grid connected wind power system consists of an IGBT synchronous inverter, which is the GridTek power processor. This inverter converts wind power to AC electricity that can be connected directly to a business or home circuit breaker panel.
