Wind energy
WINDY BOY - grid-coupling small wind energy plants
The grid-coupling of small wind energy plants is simpler than ever - with the Windy Boy from SMA. It converts the variable frequency voltage from wind generators into grid conforming AC voltage. Thus the energy can be used privately, excess energy fed into the mains grid and respectively remunerated. The Windy Boy works perfectly together with the Sunny Island in stand-alone grids for the electrification of remote areas.
Windy Boy 2500 / 3000
Worldwide proven technology
Windy Boy 2500 and 3000 inverters are ideally suited for small wind turbine systems, and feature a maximum efficiency of 95 %. The programmable polynomial curve enables ideal adjustment to the characteristic curve of the turbine, which is also protected by a special smooth start device. This Windy Boy also features the SMA Grid Guard interface, which can be used anywhere in the world. It ensures maximum wind turbine system reliability and allows for the feed-in to almost any power distribution grid.
