The
result: greater energy production yield and lowest ownership cost.

Advanced
over-speed control mechanism vs. old style furling
Problems
with old style furling:
Old
style furling works well in an ideal, wind tunnel test environment. Realistically,
wind speed and wind direction changes frequently and mechanical furling doesn't
have instantaneous response to actual changes of wind status. Especially in bad
weather conditions, small wind turbine furling components wear out quickly,
therefore, increases maintenance costs and shorten wind turbine service life or
causes system failure.
Most
of old style furling based wind turbines have three moving parts. It is the
moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection that wear out and require a lot
of maintenance. Operation of furling based wind turbines would lead to
mechanical abrasion, cause vibration, malfunction, and failure of the wind
turbine and other devastating results in the long run.
The
rule of thumb for a reliable wind turbine generator
is that the fewer the moving parts, the more reliable the wind turbine is.
Windmax
Solution:
Windmax
H series adopted Innovative over-speed control so it improves the reliability
by abandoning the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection and
minimizing the moving parts to only two.
Innovative
over-speed control design of the Windmax H series:
Windmax
H series speed limitation abandoned the traditional failure-prone mechanical
furling Wind Solar Power
System and solved safety and reliability problems facing most small wind
turbines. Advanced speed limitation of Windmax H series is achieved through
advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed
limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination
with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator.
