Annexure 3: Grid Tie Inverters
Kestrel does not manufacture grid tie inverters. The
inverter that is installed must be suitable for connection
to a wind turbine. Kestrel has fully tested the Power-
One Aurora inverter which performs extremely well.
For an installation to be compliant with either the MCS
scheme in the UK or the SWCC certification in the USA,
the Power One Aurora 3.6 inverter must be installed
with the Kestrel e400nb 3.5kW 250V
The main requirements for a suitable inverter are given
below.
Continuous power rating
3.6kW
Input dc voltage range
0 – 600Vdc (minimum)
Input dc current rating
0 – 15Adc (minimum)
Control algorithm
Voltage/Power
Your Kestrel dealer or the factory can comment on the characteristic
of any control algorithm.
No input rectifier is necessary. The Kestrel e400nb turbine outputs
dc voltage and current.
Images are for illustration only. Kestrel does not endorse any grid tie inverter.
Consult your dealer for recommendations on inverters.
