Wind Generator 12Volt
Owners Manual
FOR MODEL FD200W,FD300W,FD500W,FD1KW
The wind turbine generator system is a state of –the-art small generator
designed both to charge batteries and supply electrical loads in a 24V, 36V or
48v. when used in conjunction with a suitable sine wave DC-AC inverter and a
battery bank, the Yueniao can also supply AC power to house appliances.

    Wind Power Basics A. Blades/Rotor System The rotor system consists of three fibreglass blades. Acting like aircraft wings, the blades convert the energy of the wind into rotational forces that can drive a generator. The fibreglass blades are exceptionally strong because they are densely packed with glass reinforcing fibers that run the full length of the blade.
  • Page 4 The rotor should begin to rotate when the wind speed reaches approximately 3m/s. (for the first several weeks of operation, however, the start-up wind speed will be higher because the bearing seals have not wornin.) battery charging should commence shortly after the rotor spins up to speed. Once turning, the rotor will continue to turn in lower wind speeds, down to approximately 2.5m/s.

    on the severity of the wind gusts and whether the wind turbine stays furled depends on the wind speed. As the wind turbine furls the geometry of the tail pivot caused the tail to lift slightly. When the high winds subside the weight of the tail assembly returns the whole turbine to the straight position.
  • Page 6 Several types of towers are available: Guyed lattice towers, where the tower is permanently supported by guy wires. • These towers tend to be the least expensive, but take up a lot of space on a yard. A radio broadcast tower is a good example of a guyed lattice tower. Guyed tilt-up towers, which can be raised and lowered for easy maintenance •...
  • Page 7 Wind turbine schematic. An important factor in how much power your wind turbine will produce is the height of its tower. The power available in the wind is proportional to the cube of its speed. This means that if wind speed doubles, the power available to the wind generator increases by a factor of 8 (2 x 2 x 2 = 8).
  • Page 8 Relationship between wind speed and wind power. Wind speeds increase with height. Make sure to check local bylaws about height restrictions for wind turbine towers. Use a tower approved by the wind turbine manufacturer otherwise the warranty on the turbine may become invalid. Also ensure the tower is connected to an underground metal object to ground the tower in case of a lightning strike.

Diagram of a grid-tied wind electric system. If your home or farm is connected to the power grid, on windier days you may be able to "sell"...
  • Page 10 Examples of a power curve for a small wind turbine rated at 10 kW. What’s the Point of the Wind Generator? The wind generator harnesses the natural energy of nature to provide a free and plentiful supply of power. Each kWh of electricity produced from the wind generator can prevent 1kg of CO being emitted into the atmosphere by power stations.
  • Page 11 towers than larger turbines. We do not recommend mounting wind turbines to small buildings that people live in because of the inherent problems of turbulence, noise, and vibration – which travels readily through the structure of a building. See the diagram below for an example of a good location. Where you choose to build your wind turbine is important.
  • Page 12 Example of wind speed distribution by hour of the day. Values shown are monthly averages of measurements made by anemometers. The power in the wind is proportional to the cube of its speed (see Figure 6), a 1,000- watt turbine rated at 20 m/s will only produce 1/8 of that power at 5 m/s. So, at a wind speed of 5 m/s, the Mighty Wind will produce 1,000 watts, while the Poo-poo will only produce 15 watts! Rather than comparing the rated outputs advertised for different turbines, compare the...
  • Page 13 Theoretical power production for small wind turbines when the wind speed is 10 m/s. The 200W unit has a rotor diameter of 2.1m, giving a swept surface area of 3.14m2. Wiring Wiring of the wind turbine is very straightforward. The wind generator is a 3-phase alternator, generating 3-phase AC.
  • Page 14 The charge controller should be connected to the battery via it’s red and black outputs (red=positive, black=negative). Ensure that you have the correct battery size for your system (200W units normally utilise 12v batteries . Ensure that the batteries used are identical types and of identical age.
  • Page 15 The inveter incorporates specially designed American micro-processors for control and German IXYS MOSFET transistors together with Japanese intelligent power IGBT module (IPM) as the main circuit. This power source has the characteristics of good transient response, high contra-variant efficiency, stable output voltage and so on, and has the best EMI index at the same time.

Protective Functions 1.DC under-voltage protection: When the DC voltage is lower than 88% of the rated voltage, the bias indicator light turns on, the output is blocked; and the output will be restored automatically after the DC voltage has risen.
  • Page 17 build a wind turbine with your neighbours. Understand your neighbours' natural fear of the unknown and be prepared to respond to their concerns. Some of the concerns raised about wind turbines are untrue. Wind turbines are not, as many people believe, dangerous to birds. A sliding glass door is more dangerous to birds than a small wind turbine.
  • Page 18 Comparison of decibel levels from a hypothetical wind turbine (from 250 m away) with other sources of noise. Maintenance A wind turbine requires periodic maintenance such as oiling and greasing, and regular safety inspections. Check bolts and electrical connections annually; tighten if necessary.
