VQ WindJet™ - How it Works

VQ WindJet components are engineered to perform seamlessly for maximum results. All components are manufactured to the strictest quality control. Below is how they work together.

Turbine -Converts wind power to rotational power

• Innovative design to achieve high turbine efficiency
• Simplified mechanical structure to improve efficiency and enhance stability
• Slow rotor speed for low noise, increase in turbine life, and no avian problems
• Gearbox (4.2:1 Hypoid Bevel), 200,000 hr lifetime, 95% efficiency.
• Simple maintenance and ease of repair

Generator -Converts rotational power to electrical power

• Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators
• Low start up speed due to cogging and resistive torque design
• High quality standard components to sustain all types of extreme environments
• Maximum efficiency greater than 92%
• Excellent heat dissipation due to use of aluminum alloy outer frame
• Low mechanical resistance energy loss

Inverter -Converts DC to AC

• Able to respond to quick input voltage change and fast output power response
• Aggressive MPPT algorithm
• Wind turbine specific grid-connection controlling algorithm
• Current controlled PWM inverter technology
• Maximum efficiency greater than 94%
• Provides both LCD and LED displays for monitoring various parameters
• Compact and light design
• Wide input voltage range
• Complies with standards of UL1741

Monitoring System

• Real-time data acquisition and conversion
• Advanced control algorithm for sequencing and protection
• RF and serial communications
• Real-time data display : wind data, status, power, etc.
• Data analysis and report

Tower and Foundation

• Support wind turbine via flange strong enough for extreme winds
• Extreme and fatigue analysis of tower shell, welded and bolted connections of the tower
• Dynamic analysis of total system : no vibrations
• Foundation assessment performed for an assumed bandwidth of soil parameters

Batteries

• Charge battery by DC for independent grid, e.g. farming application
• Load shedding for grid-tie application via smart meter
• Enough cycles for charging/discharging
