Portfolio company my!Wind

A my!WIND supplies in order to cover own demand.
This will work for different applications:

a) On-grid power generation

The small wind turbine will be connected to the residential grid. An inverter converts electricity that is supplied by the wind turbine into constant grid frequency (e.g. 50 Hertz). Generated wind power can be consumed right away and thereby substitutes electricty from the local electric utility. If the wind turbine generates more power than is consumed by the household, then the surplus will be fed into the grid - i.e. bought back from the utility.

b) Power generation for charging batteries

Electricty from the wind turbine will be rectified into direct current in order to supply energy to device charging batteries. These can be used as buffer, e.g. in order to allow constant electricity consumption despite varying wind conditions at a cottage that is not connected to the grid.

c) Wind power for heating

Varying power supplied by the wind turbine can be used for water heating. A heating rod can be inserted into an existing or a new boiler and rise the temperature of water that can be used for heating.
