The ANTARIS wind turbines are working in a range of performance from 1.5 kW - 6.0 kW. Because of thr special blades are the turbines ideally suited to
inland sites. It is designed specifically for feeding power into the grid,
charging batteries (24 V/48 V etc.) and for supporting heating systems. As a
result of its sturdy design, the ANTARIS is also suitable for locations
exposed to storm-force winds, optionally with different rotor diameters
(2.75 - 5.10m). Uncomplicated from the aspect of configuration, importance
has been attached to ensuring that these turbines can be quickly assembled
and installed by hand. As a result of its robust design, the ANTARIS works
with extreme efficiency and not only comes at a highly attractive price in
its basic version. Particular attention must be drawn to its excellent
start-up behaviour (at wind speeds as low as 2.2 m/s) and very quiet
operation (43 dB). This means the system can also be installed in
residential areas.
Grid-connected operation requires the Windy Boy inverters (1100 - 3800) with
characteristics matched to the ANTARIS and local wind conditions.
Alternatively, in less windy areas, grid-connected operation is also
possible with a Windy Boy 1700.
When the ANTARIS is used in heating applications, a control cabinet with
control electronics provides optimum control of the wind characteristic in
conjunction with a 6000-watt heating element.
Storm protection: On reaching maximum power output, the ANTARIS goes into the
helicopter-type rotor-blade protection position (see picture gallery),
reducing blade area exposed to wind. In addition, the control electronics in
the control cabinet monitor system voltage and slow the wind energy system
down by means of braking resistances (3 kW) when maximum voltage is
attained.
