General Information

:

Wind force makes the blade rotate and produce mechanical energy which in turn drives the wind electric generator to produce AC electricity, converted as DC, stored in a battery and used for electrical applications ( DC or AC ) whenever required to supplement EB supply or to save on diesel. There is an in-built self protection mechanism to reduce power output in severe weather conditions. It can be installed in places where the wind speed is more than 15 kmph. The generators could be installed where wind speed is > 15 kmph. Saves around 2500 kwh per kw per annum depending on wind speed and duration.
