Southwest Windpower AIR-X

The Type AIR systems are the world’s leading small-scale wind power stations. The Type AIR-X uses an innovative, microprocessor-controlled technology which provides higher performance, improved battery-charging capacity and enhanced safety, as well as reducing system-related noise emission. By optimising the output power of the alternating current generator at all points on the output curve, the charge controller allows Peak Power Tracking and provides efficient energy transfer to the battery. Using the wind power station’s “intelligent” controller, the rotational  speed of the rotor blades can be actively regulated, whereby the vibration noise which generally occurs in smaller-scale wind power stations is suppressed.

Characteristics

• The AIR-X features a new type of rectifier and charger control technology. 
• The microprocessor-controlled controller provides voltage regulation, Peak Power Tracking, low noise emission and stall regulation in strong winds. 
• The synchronous rectifier bridge allows higher yield while providing protection against overheating. 
• Type AIR-X systems have a voltage-amplifying function which allows the charging voltage to be achieved at much lower speeds
