Grid-tie inverters for small wind turbines

By Kathie Zipp | January 18, 2012

The 6-kW Gale wind turbine inverter.

A recent line of 6 and 12-kW wind turbine inverters have variable input voltage and frequency for the wind market. Diversified Technology says their Gale Series of inverters, when combined with a tower-mount wind turbine, take the variable electric power generated and create pure sine, clean filtered power that can be sold to the utility.

Managed by DTI’s Green Power Technology, the Gale Series inverters allow a wide input voltage range with energy-saving low speed power mode to allow for smooth operation even at minimal turbine revolutions, and other features designed to meet the specific needs of the wind power market. DTI’s Soft Grid Technology allows the inverter to continue to produce the maximum amount of power even during wind gusts that would otherwise cause over voltage on the grid. This is useful in rural locations during light local loading conditions. This maximizes profits for the operator while preventing annoying system resets.
