Recommended
for:
 |
Large
remote homes or facilities, using at least 700 kWh per month |
 |
Locations
where delivering or storing diesel fuel is a problem |
 |
Retrofit
to existing diesel-only power system to provide 24-hour power
availability |
 |
Wind
Class 2 or higher |
|
Note:
This system contains batteries and is typically used in conjunction with a
back-up generator (gasoline, propane, or diesel fuel). These systems are
modular and can be expanded easily.

We
recommend this package for village power and larger remote home and
facilities
that need more than 500 kWh's of alternating current (AC) energy per
month. These systems are often retrofitted to existing diesel-only systems
in order to save fuel and provide 24-hour power.
The BWC Remote.System stores excess energy in batteries for use during low
wind periods. It can also charge the batteries from a back-up
generator. With a back-up generator the Remote.System can provide
reliable 24-hour power with minimal attention from the operator. The Guyed-Lattice tower is
the least cost tower type and a 100 ft. tower is tall enough for most
locations.
Shorter towers reduce performance. For locations where crane access is
not possible, the towers can be stacked using a winch and davit system.
The batteries are Trojan L-16's, a workhorse of the home power industry
and an excellent value. A total of 40 individual batteries are connected in five
parallel strings of eight batteries in series (48 VDC nominal). This
battery bank will typically support the load for 1-2 days days without
wind energy input or back-up power.
The dual Outback Power FX2548T sine-wave
inverter system
provides 6,000 Watts continuous at 120 VAC, 60 Hz (or 230 VAC, 50 Hz at
4,600 W) with enough capacity to start difficult motor
loads. The Outback inverters include a 60A AC transfer relay that
can automatically switch the load to a back-up generator when the
battery bank becomes drained. The VFX3048T's are sealed for
superior environmental protection and include a "Turbo" fan option for
cooler operation.
In addition to the equipment costs given below, a complete
installation will typically include the following costs:
shipping, sales tax, permit costs, foundation and anchoring, wire
run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks or vault, electrical hook-up, and inspection fees.
Your dealer or Bergey WindPower can assist you in budgeting these
additional costs. For budgeting purposes, these costs typically
range from $4,000 (customer installed, no sales tax, etc) to $25,000
(Certified Dealer, sales tax, diesel generator, etc).
Installations overseas will have additional costs, including import
duties.
