Wind Resource
A usable wind resource is the starting point for evaluating wind generation within the microgrid.
50 KW · MICROGRID APPLICATION
Wind power as part of the microgrid.
Microgrid projects combine generation, control, power conversion and local loads into a coordinated power system. The 50 kW electric yaw platform can be evaluated as one generation source within that broader architecture.
50 kW · MICROGRID WIND POWER
01APPLICATION CONTEXT
Design the system before selecting the turbine.
A microgrid is not defined by a single generation source. Wind resource, load profile, solar generation, storage, conventional generation, control strategy and grid condition can all influence the final system architecture.
PROJECT PRINCIPLE
The 50 kW wind turbine should be evaluated as part of the complete microgrid rather than as an isolated power source.
02PROJECT CONDITIONS
Where wind fits into the microgrid.
Wind becomes more relevant when the site has a suitable wind resource and its generation profile can be evaluated alongside other sources within the local power system.
Load Profile
The timing and scale of site power demand influence how wind generation should be evaluated within the system.
Multiple Power Sources
Wind may be evaluated alongside solar, third-party storage or conventional generation depending on the project architecture.
Control Architecture
Generation sources and loads need to be coordinated through an appropriate project-specific control and power-conversion strategy.
0350 kW PLATFORM
ELECTRIC YAW WIND TURBINE
A 50 kW wind platform for system integration.
The FD14-50 kW platform combines a 14 m rotor, electric yaw control and project-based configuration for distributed wind and microgrid applications.
04SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
A microgrid is a system, not a collection of equipment.
Wind generation, controllers, power conversion, solar, third-party storage, conventional generation and local loads should be evaluated together according to the actual project topology.
01Wind Resource
Available wind data should be reviewed before turbine selection or system sizing.
02Load Profile
Site demand, operating schedule and peak loads influence the role wind generation may play within the microgrid.
03Other Generation Sources
Solar, conventional generation and other project-side power resources should be considered as part of the complete generation architecture.
04Controller & Power Conversion
Control and power-conversion equipment should be selected according to the intended electrical architecture and operating requirements.
05Grid & Local Requirements
Grid conditions, electrical standards, permitting and certification requirements should be confirmed for the actual project location.
06PROJECT ENGINEERING
50 kW · MICROGRID ENGINEERING
Start with the system architecture.
Share the project location, available wind data, load profile, existing generation sources and intended microgrid architecture. MARSTON POWER can review where the 50 kW wind platform may fit within the project.
