VAWT Systems, LLC Announces Revolutionary New Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG)
ANAHEIM, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - VAWT
Systems, LLC, has invented, engineered, and begun producing a
revolutionary line of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generators (PMG's)
specifically designed for the Renewable Energy market. The Polar
Wind Generator (PWG) series is unlike conventional PMG's or
PMA's (Permanent Magnet Alternators), these generators are built for the
highest performance at the lowest possible RPM's (Revolutions per
Minute). These have been developed to produce useable power at speeds
lower than 70 RPM and full Rated Power at 400 RPM.
The VAWT Systems 1 kiloWatt (kW) PWG-1 is available in two
configurations. A low voltage model (PWG-1-LV) for battery charging and
a high voltage model (PWG-1-HV) for connecting directly to a grid-tied
A.C. inverter system. These generators are perfectly suited to Vertical
Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT's) as they operate at much lower RPM's than
traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT's) but also allows
HAWT's to operate at lower wind speeds. The PWG-1 is also well suited
for other renewable rotational energy sources such as water (hydro) or
"wave" power or people powered (bicycles and exercise equipment).
Based in Anaheim, California, VAWT Systems has the resources and
facilities to provide research and development, manufacturing,
distribution, sales, support and training for its dealer, distribution
and direct sales network.
Partnering with SI Manufacturing (http://www.simfg.com),
a well established company in Orange County, CA, has enabled VAWT
Systems to utilize 50 years of engineering and production expertise.
Using state-of-the-art NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) magnets, VAWT
Systems' PWG-1 is a 1.2 kW axial flux permanent magnet generator capable
of producing usable power to the electrical grid (with optional grid-tie
inverter) at very low RPM's and will allow operation at wind speeds
below 15 mph where most wind turbine generators fall short.
Production quantities of the PWG-1 generator will be available 2nd
Quarter 2010.
The "Polar Wind" series of generators are scalable from 500 Watts to 10
kW and higher. These generators are available directly from VAWT
Systems, LLC or from our dealers, distributors and representatives. The
MSRP for the PWG-1-HV or the PWG-1-LV is $2495.00 fob Anaheim, CA.
Quantity and Dealer discounts apply.
