10 kW Permanent Magnet Generator

10kW Design

The 10kW permanentmagnet generator finds its applications in residential houses on country sides, farming sites, small business setups etc. This has empowered owners to a great extent to reduce utility bills. Other than these, 10kW wind turbine setups are very famous in telecom sector, on or off grid residential areas, rural schools etc. Areas with no electricity grids or with unreliable grids depend on wind energy most of the time.

Very high efficiency and long lasting design have made 10kW system a favorite amongst rural   land owners and farmers. Farmers can expect a very short payback period of less than 5 years which makes their fuel cost go down.

 When designing a 10kW wind turbine, many considerations have to be kept in mind. This is not a very small setup. Issues like weight of the whole turbine, tower, braking system etc play an important role while designing. These windmills have to be made to withstand strong wind conditions since potential of generating electricity during high wind conditions are much more.  Also during strong wind conditions the design and strength of the whole setup comes into play. These winds can damage strong structures easily, hence the material of the wind blades and the tower strength have to be strong enough to withstand winds at 150 km/hr. 10 KW designs have to be robust and dependable for these wind conditions. With a yield of 40,000 -60,000 kWh, users can increase their benefits by selling back the electricity to the national grids. 

10kW Generators in Telecom

During past seven years the installation of telecom grids all over the world has increased many folds. During these competitive times, the telecom companies are expanding their networks to regions where there are no electric grids also. The small wind industry is a key player in this field. Wind turbines like 10kW turbines find a huge potential in these areas by providing uninterrupted power supply throughout the day 365 days a year.

Direct Drive 10kW

The many advantages of 10kWpermanent magnet generator especially a 10 kW are reliability, efficiency and reduction in the overall cost of producing electricity. In the direct drive method power is taken directly from the wind turbine without any reductions which was earlier provided by a gearbox.

A 10kW turbine fitted with a direct driven mechanism offers many advantages:

·         More efficient – No power wastage from belts, chains, gearbox etc

·         Drive Stiffness – Avoiding gearbox results in removal of mechanical backlash, hysteresis and elasticity

·         High torque at low speed

·         Noise reduction

·         Increased lifetime

·         The positioning is faster and accurate

Other features of a 10kW design:

Since a 10kW wind generator becomes a large unit and weight is more, the mounting arrangement like tower is made from high tensile foundations. Mechanical fail safe braking system is incorporated for to stop the turbine operations. Heat sensors, over voltage sensors etc are fitted to keep the machinery safe from any damage. At very high wind speeds which can be a danger to the setup, wind shutdown mechanisms are installed to keep the kit from getting blown away.
