In S. Alberta.

This price is fantastic:

SCHNEIDER 40 AMP MPT WIND CONTROLLER

This controller is a pretty good addition to a solar/wind combo.  Basically, all they do is divert load from battery charging duties to a load diversion (resistor bank or water heating element):

    Schneider Electric C40 PWM Charge controller

This used to be a Xantrex product, but Schneider took over and is hopefully going to take it up a notch.  I notice that they added the black heat-sink to this unit over the old Xantrex model.  Xantrex makes decent inverters and I am using the 1000W and 2000W models in my smallest power generation package with AGM batteries (more to come later).  I most likely will get the 6000W and the 1500W units out at the same time.

On the 6000W unit, I am STILL looking for something that communicates with the other elements of my system via network port.  Most of these are stand-alone (and that is okay, too), but I would like something that is just slightly more seamlessly integrated.  This is the final piece of my puzzle.  If I can find nothing better, I punt and go with the standby.

HOW TO WIRE UP A WIND BLUE TURBINE - SUGGESTED WIRING

The secret with the wind blue is to have a load dump controller:

I have a 5 blade Wind Blue with 3 Phase/Rectified power source and also the Primus 40.  I am gathering data on both.  I suspect the Wind Blue will double the output of the Primus 40 for my wind conditions in Alberta.  The Primus 40 may make more sense in other conditions.  The Wind Blue is more easily rebuilt in the field with common parts.  Each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Here is a really good and cheap load diversion resistor from Missouri Wind and Solar:

You cannot build them yourself for cheaper than this.
 

SOLAR RACKING ON LIGHT TOWERS

This is the SLT800 from this company:

Here is their marketing video:

This is a good example of a seamless racking configuration: 

VERTICAL TURBINES - SAUER ENERGY

I wanted to book-mark this and see how the technology matures:

I am interested in the lithium batteries.  A lot more energy density (per unit weight), than other leading battery technologies.

A ROUGH IDEA OF WHAT MY 6000 AND 12,000 WATT UNITS WILL LOOK LIKE

My electronics packages are much more efficient in extracting and restoring charge to/from the batteries using the MagnaSine Inverter/Charger.

Cannot wait to get this thing done!

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE ON AUTO ELECTRONICS WHEN THEY ARE RUNNING

I need to run a bonded/grounded/shunted generator down to this facility and pay for a test of it in the shielded mode to see how it would do:

I wonder how much it would cost.
