  • Best Of: It’s Not About The Amperage!
    Jan 23 2024

    This podcast with Wes and David delves into the topic of wind turbines and the misconception that amperage is the only indicator of performance. They discuss the importance of the MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller in regulating the performance of the turbine.

    The MPPT controller is responsible for analyzing the incoming voltage from the wind turbine and the state of the battery to determine what the amperage should be. This is important because simply increasing the amperage without considering the voltage and battery state can actually decrease the performance of the turbine.

    Wes and David also discuss the benefits of using MPPT controllers, including the ability to maximize the power output of the turbine and extend the life of the battery. They provide valuable insights on how to properly set up and maintain a wind turbine system for optimal performance.

    Overall, the podcast is an informative and insightful discussion on the importance of understanding the role of the MPPT controller in wind turbine systems and how it can affect performance.

  • Best Of: What Is The Difference Between a 12, 24 and 48 Volt Wind Turbine
    Jan 18 2024

     

    The Missouri Wind and Solar podcast provides a valuable discussion on the differences between 12 volt, 24 volt, and 48 volt wind turbines. The podcast explains that the voltage of a wind turbine refers to the amount of electrical power it generates, and it is a crucial factor in determining the overall efficiency of a wind energy system.

    The podcast explains that choosing the right voltage for a wind turbine depends on several factors, including the amount of power needed, the size of the system, and the distance between the turbine and the battery bank. The higher the voltage, the lower the wire resistance, and the longer the distance the electricity can be transmitted without losing power.

    Overall, the Missouri Wind and Solar podcast provides a valuable discussion on the differences between 12 volt, 24 volt, and 48 volt wind turbines and highlights the importance of choosing the right voltage for a wind energy system based on the specific needs and requirements of the application.
