Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators Types

James asks…

What are 3 different types of wind turbine motors?

i know that a wind turbine has a motor to produce electricity, but i need 3 different types of motors, can somebody just list 3. its all i need

admin answers:

1) DC electric generator, to charge batteries directly and run DC
appliances or inverters run from batteries to give you AC current

2) AC synchronous generator. These AC generators get field excitation directly from your electric company so if the electricity goes down from the power company, so does your generator. But the good thing is they are synchronized with the Hz of (60Hz) and you don’t need an inverter to and batteries to smooth out the sine wave of current and voltage. You get a steady 60 cycle current.

3) regular AC induction motor.This will produce electricity that has to be used on the spot (converted to heat water or something) and has variable frequencies depending on rotor speed of turbine. But it can be run thru diodes (just like car alternator) to convert to DC to charge batteries. And then the batteries are run to power DC equipment or run thru an inverter for things that need AC

Chris asks…

Have you heard or read any news about wind turbine projects?

What are the current news about wind power technology, wind turbine projects, or wind industry innovations? News from any country will do. Looking forward for your answers guys. Thank you in advance!

I think that you would be better off by going to Google and typing in such things as wind generators.

Good luck
