Wind energy – our second pillar
Mankind has been using the wind’s energy to carry out tasks since ancient times. Today, wind energy systems connected directly to the grid have firmly established themselves in the generation of electricity. Technology for harnessing wind energy has been constantly improving - at a rapid pace - since 1980. The seemingly simple design of wind generators must safeguard against overloading and deliver a consistent supply of current. At the same time, the generator must still be useable at low wind speeds.
Our wind generators have been designed for installation in commercial and residential areas, as well as for mobile utilisation, such as on yachts, on top of mountain lodges or at measuring stations. Their operation is extremely smooth, increasing their efficiency and minimising stress on numerous components. Thanks to their special design, the patented rotor blades dynamically adapt their shape automatically for wind speeds that are too high. This reduces the wind load and ensures storm resistance, meaning that power is still produced even during storms. Our wind generators likewise generate power even at low wind speeds, as they require only a low starting wind speed. A high level of storm resistance additionally means that the generators enjoy a long service life. Integrated renewable energy systems safeguard the supply of electricity, which is what makes them the devices of the future. Because we are convinced of this, we have developed transformers and charge controllers that are perfectly adapted for our wind generators. This means that it is possible to construct a cost-effective hybrid system together with photovoltaic modules. Our wind generators are suitable for a working temperature range between -20° Celsius and +70° Celsius. Our desire is to make possible for our customers solutions that are sustainable in the long term and investments in the utilisation of wind power and other regenerative energy sources that are guaranteed to be future proof.
