2.1 Intended Use
The Windy Boy is a wind energy inverter, which converts rectified current of a small wind turbine system into AC current and feeds this energy into the power distribution grid, domestic grid or the Sunny Island system.
Principle of a small wind turbine system with a Windy Boy
Furthermore, the Windy Boy can be used as an inverter for power conversion units based on permanent magnet generators (hydro power system, combined heat and power plant, diesel generator, etc.). The manufacturer of the small wind turbine system or generator should have approvedhisplantforoperation withthisWindyBoy(alsosee the WindyBoyplanningguidelines in the download area at www.SMA.de/en).
When designing the PV plant, ensure that the permitted operating range of all components is maintainedatalltimes.Inadditionensurethatthroughtheuseofappropriateprotectivemeasuresthe maximumpermissibleinputvoltageoftheinverterisnotexceeded.SMASolarTechnologyAGoffers you the corresponding components, such as the Windy Boy Protection Box (overvoltage protection for wind power inverters including the rectifier).
