Wind Turbines are very simple conceptually in their process of generating electricity. Wind Turbines typically have 3 blades attached to a rotor. When the wind blows, it turns the blades which in turn produce electricity through the use of an alternator normally housed in the wind turbine casing.
Depending on the size and application that the wind turbine will be used for it can be mounted at various heights. Hybrid Power uses standard height hinged masts with guy rope cables to secure the wind turbine.
Due to the erratic nature of wind energy, our wind turbines are normally installed as part of a hybrid system including solar and an additional backup (Generator or National Grid). This allows you to harness as much natural energy as possible whilst still having the security of the additional backup if needed. This will help cut costs as most of your power should now be stored from the renewable energy sources and you will be able to use that instead of expensive and non-renewable energy sources such as your backup options.
The wind turbine charges a battery pack which in turn uses an inverter to supply your house with Alternating Current (AC) 230v.
