a) Twelve 640Ah 2V batteries - from Powertech (Willard)
b) A KESTREL 1kW pitch controlled wind turbine - from Kestrel (Eveready)
c) A 60A wind turbine controller (MPPT) - from J&J electronics
The system is currently being installed and should be up and running within 2 weeks. This system represents the "state of the art" in domestic sized wind energy generation and storage. Furthermore these products are all local and demonstrate that South Africa and in fact the EC are leaders in this field.
In addition to the solar and wind systems already running on the NMMUGREEN rooftop we will now be generating (and storing) enough power to run the entire Siemens laboratory and more. More importantly we will be showcasing these fine products in action and thus making learners and the public aware of this vital technology.
More good news is that the green energy web portal is almost ready to go live. Live data is already available on a PC screen in E22. More details soon....
