The Generation Of Power In Wind Power Plants Covers A Significantly Increasing Proportion Of Energy Needs Worldwide. Both The Conversion Of The Kinetic Wind Energy And The Use And Storage Of The Generated Electrical Power Are Crucial Aspects In This Context.
It Is A Compact Control Unit For The Mobile Wind Power Plant. The Electrical Energy From The Wind Power Plant It Is Fed Into The Stand-Alone System Of It, Which Is Independent From The Power Grid.
The Electrical Energy Is Stored Temporarily By Means Of A Charge Controller In An Accumulator Included In It. As Soon As The Accumulator Is Charged, The Excess Electrical Energy Is Dissipated In Fixed Resistors. This Overcharge Protection Is Triggered When The Defined End-Of-Charge Voltage Is Reached. It Is Indicated On The Charge Controller By Means Of An LED Lamp. The Wind Power Plant Will Continue To Run Under These Conditions, And Can Provide Electrical Energy Again Instantaneously When Needed.
