Inverter maximises solar system efficiency
Suitable for residential as well as commercial applications, the Aurora PVI-3600 indoor inverter redefines weight, size and performance in solar power installations.
First introduced at the Wind Energy International Trade Fair in Hamburg, Germany last month and certified by Clear Skies to meet stringent UK standards for quality, reliability and compliance with UK interconnect standards, the Aurora 3.6kW wind power inverter offers many benefits to wind turbine builders, installers and ultimately, end users.
Its revolutionary digital switching technology includes silicon carbide diodes, CoolMOS and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), resulting in low switching losses and, thus, highly efficient power conversion.
The Aurora wind inverter's most notable advancement is wind maximum power point tracking (MPPT), which enables it to optimise energy harvested from wind turbines.
By means of proprietary MPPT circuitry and software, Aurora can be programmed to increase the energy extracted from the wind power curve in virtually any wind power system on the market today.
MPPT thereby allows wind turbine manufacturers to upgrade their existing wind power systems to achieve the most efficient energy conversion possible.
A specifically designed Aurora wind interface box is offered to optimise the entire wind inverter system that provides diversion load control and wind speed feedback.
