The Unit consists of a wind tunnel and a control unit. The wind tunnel contains a wind power plant in laboratory-scale and an axial fan. A rotor and a generator are the core elements of a wind power plant. The control unit includes the Standalone LCD with touch panel, Electrical load, Fan speed controller etc. Touch LCD will display the air flow, rotor speed, output voltage and current, load control and other parameters on the process schematic diagram.

The axial fan generates the air flow required to set the rotor of the wind power plant in rotational motion. A flow straightener ensures the flow is consistent and low in turbulence. A generator converts the rotor’s kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is fed into a stand-alone system that is not connected to the mains grid. A charge controller in an accumulator provides intermediate storage of the electrical energy. The electrical energy can be used by means of an electrical load. The wind velocity is varied by changing the rotational speed of the fan.

A PC data acquisition (EDSM-20S) is also available (Optional).
