Hummer small wind turbines are supercritical generators (SCF).  SCF generator technology takes advantage of special structure and materials to make the generator operate in a critical state, which makes full use of the generator's power capabilities, lowers its volume, weight and improves its working efficiency to a large extent.

 

Hummer SCF generators differ from traditional generators because they are smaller in size and lighter in weight.  Typically 1/3 to 1/5 lighter than traditional generators.

 

Hummer SCF generators  have a higher efficiency than traditional generators as well.  Typically 10% to 30% greater operating at the same wind speeds.

 

Hummer SCF generators are located in the nose cone of the Hummer turbine thereby increasing the ability to quickly radiate heat and offer reduced wind resistance.  They are also better suited to operate in all weather conditions.

 

From agricultural to small wind farms Hummer small wind turbines provide a flexible and reliable power source no matter what application is being considered.

 

Hummer small wind turbines are also low noise emitting and easy to install.

The Hummer Wind Control System features a Siemens Series 7 PLC. 

The PLC has a touch controlling interface that is incorporated into the Wind Control System module and is feature rich. 

It offers various data and images as well as allows for manual and automatic function control.

The Hummer Wind Control System monitors generator RPM,  temperature, current, voltage, power, frequency, wind direction and wind speed.

Users can also use the touch screen to manually seek wind direction, manual stop and forced start-up.

The Hummer Wind Control System is part of our 'Intelligent' Yaw Control technology that is available in the 3kW, 5kW, 10kW, 20kW, 30kW and 50kW Grid Connect and Off Grid small wind turbine product line.
