Ceiling Fan Wind Turbine hooked to a Grid Tie Inverter

  • So thought today was a real good day to test out the Ceiling Fan Turbine and Grid Tie Inverter set up I have running. Wind was blowing like crazy and the turbine voltage was upwards of 60 VDC ! That apparently was way too much for the Grid Tie Inverter to handle and I noticed it kept faulting and shutting down when the voltage got upwards of 35 VDC. That is the apparent limit for this one...
    So I had this small 12 Volt Alarm Battery laying around that was still good and tried to hook it up to a Voltage regulator I have. Didn't work at all so I decided to hook the DC outs from the Rectifiers directly to the battery and the battery to the Grid Tie Inverter.
    I noticed the voltage on the turbine dropped to 12-13 VDC even in heavy winds when before it was hitting 60 VDC when it was not hooked to the battery but while hooked to the battery and the Grid Tie Inverter, it kept working w/o any issues hooked directly to the Turbine. I monitored this for about 3 hrs. and the voltage was constant. The Battery never got too high or hot and the voltage stayed constant.
    So it appears that having the draw on the battery from the Grid Tie Inverter while being directly hooked to the DC outs of the Wind Turbine is the way to go. Now even in strong winds when the turbine is pushing well over the Inverters limits, it will still work while hooked to this 12 Volt 12 AMP Hr. battery! No need for a charge controller.

    That looks like our of the cheap China grid tie that is meant to work off of a battery, but you still need battery controller regulator so you don't cook the battery
