5. Functional description
All wind generators use the kinetic energy contained in the wind. This energy is
partially (theoretically 58%) converted into a rotary motion by the rotor blades
and then converted into a 3-phase alternating current in the generator. The power
of the wind energy increases proportionally to the 3rd potency with the wind
speed. That means doubling the wind speed leads to an eightfold increase in
performance. This is particularly important in stormy weather.
Our rotor blades are made from high-tensile carbon fiber mats, hand laminated
with epoxy resin. This material offers the highest strength with the lowest weight.
As a result, the newly developed blades are extremely light and cannot be
destroyed by wind forces during operation.
For normal operation, we have added additional safety to our controllers with an
electronic and manual brake system.
There is also a patented strong wind brake in the generator housing. If the current
is drained, the stator can heat up considerably and there is a risk of fire. the brake
is then activated by a bimetal switch and, after cooling the brake is released again.
