WindiStar 4500 wind turbine
The WindiStar 4500 was designed and developed as a high performance, high power wind turbine for both off-grid and grid-tie operations. The WindiStar 4500 wind turbine provides a peak power of more than 5kW at a much lower rotor speed resulting in quiet and noiseless operation. It has numerous applications such as in solar power back-up, remote homes and resorts, and island electrification.
Key Features of the WindiStar 4500
• Low cut-in wind speeds
• Lightweight, rugged design
• Suitable for remote locations installations
• International recognition – CE certification; IEC in progress
• Suitable for standalone or multiple parallel module applications to suit different power ratings.
• Modular construction for easy installation and dismantling
• PWM based state of art architecture providing overcharge protection/load diversion (in auto mode).
• Status monitoring of battery low & battery high – LCD display on the front panel.
• Automatic diversion of power to a dump load at battery overcharge / very high turbine speed.
• Ambient operating temperature up to 52°C.
Windistar WS 4500 is a high-performance, high-powered wind turbine which provides bulk power, in an off-grid configuration. Â
Two such turbines are adequate for a full 10-house village or a tourist resort. Â
The WS 4500 compares very favorably with other internationally reputed 5KW/ 6KW wind turbines and provides peak power of almost 5.5 to 6 KW at low rotor speed resulting in quiet operation. Â
The latest design anti-clogging neodymium alternator design keeps peak temperature below 55 degrees Celsius even at rated output – hence no chance of burnout or short circuit failure. Â
The alternator, rotor & 3 blades are perfectly matched for low rotor speed and damping of both lateral and radial rotor movement resulting in ultra smooth quiet operation at lower than 35 db noise level. Â
Unlike other 5KW/ 6KW turbines which weigh more than 300 KG, the WS 4500 weighs only 113 KG and is designed to fit in the Whisper 500 tower – hence no extra cost of the tower and lower investment on the tower. Â
Can be installed anywhere, even on a building roof or on top of a mobile phone tower using only a hand-powered winch – no cranes required. Â
High quality and strong carbon fibre blades, marine grade powder coat as per ASTM BÂ 117 (1000Â Hours salt spray test)Â
Applications
• Telecom towers.
• Fuel stations & resorts.
• Rural electrification & farm power and water supply.
• 230V AC mains grid-tie rooftop installation on high-rise buildings.
• Water pumping model is also available (WS4500 with WiSH Energy pump controller can be connected to any 3 phase submersible or surface water pump and can pump water from bore wells of 200/300 ft.)
• Military / Para Military camp power supply.
• Island and lighthouse continuous power supply.
