Superwind 350 made in Germany
The Superwind 350 is a small wind generator for professional use, which
even under extreme conditions works autonomously and automaticly. It is
often used on sites where there is no grid available. The electric power
generated by Superwind charges batteries and can be used directly for
12V- or 24 V-appliances. There are many industrial appliances on these
voltage levels like measurement systems, transmitters or navigational
aids. But there are also quite a number of high-quality energy-saving
appliances available, such as energy saving lamps, refrigerators, deep-freezers,
water pumps, ventilators, consumer electronics, TV, radio and navigation
equipment, etc. Appliances for 230 V or 110 V can be supplied by an optional
inverter.

Ideal fields of application for example are navigational aids, traffic
control systems, environmental monitoring stations or transmitters, but
also sailing yachts, campers, summer cottages and mountain shelters. Concerning
the rural electrification in remote areas of developing countries, Superwind
generators provide electric power for whole families.
The combination with solar arrays is without problems. At many places,
energy supplies from sun and wind complement each other. That is why Superwind
generators are used in wind/solar hybrid systems to ensure the availability
of power (at minimized battery capacity).

Technology
In the past small wind generators were used rarely for professional applications,
since they generally did not have effective safety systems and since they
were not reliable enough for automatic and unattended operation.
Superwind generators define the new standard for micro wind turbine technology.
They fulfill highest professional requirements and can be operated completely
unsupervised even under extreme climatic conditions.
Due to their sophisticated technological concept and their aerodynamic
rotor control system superwind generators guarantee maximum reliability
and durability and are second to none when it comes to reliable power
supply.
Rotor
The basic innovation of superwind is its novel aerodynamic rotor control
system. Similarly to large wind turbines it adjusts the pitch angle of
the rotor blades. The mechanical controller is fully integrated into the
hub and works without expensive electrical or hydraulic components. Instead,
the controller is actuated by forces arising at operation of the wind
turbine itself. The forces are effected by the geometric and kinematic
lay-out of the rotor and controller mechanism.
The control system responds very quickly, and precisely controls the
power produced and the rotor speed. The customer benefits are:
Outstanding
reliability under all operation conditions
Fail-safe: even at electric system brakedown no dangerous rotor overspeed.
Low loads for high durability.
Automatic and unattended operation (with charge regulator)
Minimum noise emission since the rotor blades are feathering to leeward
and and noisy stall effects are excluded.
The rotor blades were developed using modern computerized calculation
and simulation methods. The airfoils had been wind tunnel tested and were
specifically developed for a small size wind turbine.
Generator
The generator is a brushless synchronous generator with permanent magnet
excitation. The three-phase alternating current is rectified by an internal
rectifier. The generator is especially adapted to the aerodynamic power
characteristics of the rotor. High-grade Neodymium magnets are used for
optimum efficiency. All electrical components are properly dimensioned
for high surge currents, low thermal loads and high durability. The aluminium
generator housing provides perfect heat dissipation. The generator shaft
bearings are stainless steel bearings, lifetime lubricated and sealed
against humidity and dust by low friction seals.
Yawing
Yawing is effected by a wind vane and yaw bearings. The yawing system
is designed for operation even on turbulent sites and also works perfectly
on yachts, no matter whether reaching or sailing downwind. For power transmission
between the fixed and the pivoting part, the wind generator is equipped
with sliprings and carbon brushes.
Materials
Superwind generators are entirely made of high grade and corrosion-proof
materials. All mechanical components are integrated into sealed housings
and are effectively protected against dust, salt and humidity. The housings
and the wind vane are made of sea water-proof aluminium alloy with additional
powder coating. All steel parts like shafts, axles, bearings, bolts and
nuts are made of stainless chromium steel. The rotorblades are made of
carbon fiber reinforced plastics.

Accessories:
Charge Controller SCR
Charge Regulator SCR Marine
The SCR Marine charge regulator has been especially designed for the Superwind
350 wind generator and guarantees optimum charging of the batteries. The
secondary function of the SCR Marine is to electronically keep the wind
generator under load. When the batteries have reached their maximum charging
voltage, the SCR Marine´s PWM circuit automatically diverts the
wind turbine´s surplus power to the dump resistors. Thus with batteries
even fully charged, the wind turbine continues operating and provides
useable power as soon as electric consumers are switched on. This state
of charge is indicated by a LED.
The SCR Marine is suitable for lead acid batteries, gel batteries and
AGM batteries (AGM = Absorbed Glass Mat) and has temperature compensated
charging characteristics. For special applications, the maximum charging
voltage can be adjusted to customer requirements.
The charge regulator SCR Marine is completely sealed and effectively protectet
against the marine environment.
It has two separate outputs, which can be used to charge two battery sets
separately (eg. starter battery and service battery on a yacht).
Important: An advantage of the CRM is that it only regulates the voltage
of the wind turbine. It is not influenced by (and does not influence)
other power sources connected to the battery like alternators, gensets
etc.

Stop-switch
The stop switch is used to shut down the wind generator
if it is not to be operated or to prevent starting of the rotor when working
on it. Wiring the stop switch is not obligatory if a charge regulator
has been installed.
When
using the Superwind on a boat or a sailing yacht, the stop switch is strongly
recommended to shut the wind turbine down in heavy weather at sea. Spray
and waves, parts detached from the rigg or from the sails etc. could touch
the rotor. Furthermore in such situations the restricted mobility on board
increases the risk of accidentially touching the running rotor.
If the system is operated without charge regulator, a stop switch is
necessary. In this case charging must be continuously supervised by the
operator and terminated when the battery is fully charged. The stop switch
disconnects the Superwind from the battery and simultaneously shuts down
the rotor. The stop switch must be installed in the line between the wind
generator and the battery as close to the wind generator as possible.
In this line between wind generator and stop switch fuses or circuit breakers
must not be installed.

The stop switch has two positions:
RUN: The positive line from the generator is connected to the battery.
The negattive line from the generator is connected to the battery.
STOP: The positive line and the negative line from the wind generator
are short-circuited.
(generator short circuit brakes the rotor)
The positive and the negative lines from the battery are both open and
disconnected from the wind generator.
The stop switch is designed for indoor panel mounting. For easy adaption
to panels of up to 22 mm thickness, the shaft is adjustable.
