Gentlemen. I currently work for GE as a field engineer. Does anyone work or know someone who has worked with siemens commissiong turbines. What kind of salary and time off etc.. Also if anyone knows anything about field engineers for VFD drives I would appreciate any info. Are they a good co...
Ok, if electricity in a wind turbine is generated by the wind spinning a coil in a magnet, how does it match the frequency of mains electricity (i.e.50 Hz) when the wind blows faster and slower all the time?
Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers... :) (at least that's...
Don't really know if anyone else has started a thread on here about making your own wind turbine, if not I'll be the first :)
I've a log cabin in my garden with a bar, pool table, seating area etc, it currently has an electrical supply. It has light fittings inside, a few sockets ( the most to...
-- This is my first post, so introductions may be in order. My name is Pete. I work for a small wind energy company primarily as a site finder. I am not an electrician, but might be in the future.. that's a different story --
I am looking to source some sort of a smart device [or...
Hello friends i want to know about the best Do it yourself product to build solar panel or wind turbine available in market. I have heard about Home Made Energy and Power 4 Home Does they are good and worth the value?
hi guys,im in college and with my free time i try and make green energy kind of things while learning how they work,may come in useful for a project down the line, anyway i have a motor which i was going to connect to a vertical axis wind turbine but my question is will the motor work as its...
Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a 5KW wind turbine, I have 1.5 acre garden but the nearest house is 95meters away. Does anyone know what councils need for a minimum distance as a rule? The average wind speed in my area is 7.2 which is very good for turbines apparently. Anyone in the turbine...
Hi Guys
Did an install for a company yesterday, 18 x 200 watt panels with an omnic-4k-tl inverter wired in 2 strings, pretty much south facing. Got a call today as the inverter keeps cutting out. There is also a wind turbine onsite feeding into the same board (cant remember the power of the...
hi guys
currently an electrician, and have been involved in the P.V side of things over the last year, considering getting into the wind side of things as well. Already hold 2330, 2391, 17th, and c&g p.v course (forget the number!) anyone know what qualification is required and recommend...
Hi all
Currently getting my 16th up to my 17th (been out the sparking for a few years).
Really interested in Wind turbine installation and maintenance, but it seems pretty damn hard to get into that field.
Any advice? Did a search on here... not much seemed to come up.
Got my CV to every...
Hi, Does anyone one of an engineer who can carry out yearly maintenance on 6kw Proven wind turbines, I have a client who requires this and having trawled the internet, doesn't seem to be an abundance of engineers who do this. Any help would be appreciated or if its the sort of thing you can do...
Evenin all.
As a bit of a project, I've decided to have a look into small scale off grid wind power.
The location where I live, I believe would be well suited to a small turbine install as it's very exposed and windy almost all of the time.
Do any members have any recommendations on systems...
Hi, I'm due to install a 3.6Kw system on a property with an existing 6Kw Wind turbine.
I have applied for it with the DNO because it already has the 6Kw wind turbine.
The installation is 3 Phase and I intend to connect the PV system to a different phase to the wind turbine.
Has anybody had...
Could someone please tell me if a 2kv permanent magnet turbine with no load should spin freely or should you feel a type of mgnetic pulse when you spin it by hand? Cheers
Hi.
Please help with my hawt. It's a 96v 2kv turbine and feels like there is to much magnetic resistance. It does not want to spin even when all 3 wires are disconected with no load in very windy conditions. I have had tested the windings and the slip ring and were ok. The bearings are all...
