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.
The Windy Boys are suitable for wind generators from a wide variety of manufacturers and power classes. They guarantee an optimal power adjustment and very high energy yields.They are also best suited for flexible and worldwide use - ensured by the robust housing, the SMA Grid Guard disconnection device, the electric separation to the grid along with an automatic 50 or 60 Hz recognition.
Windy Boy 5000A / 6000A
The Performance Class up to 18 kW
The Windy Boy 5000A and 6000A feature a maximum efficiency of 96.1 percent and are also suited for a three-phase grid feed-in. The integrated SMA Power Balancer prevents undue load unbalance, and the plant is also able to feed-in even if individual phases fail. The weatherproof enclosure and the wide temperature range allow for installation at almost any location. Thanks to OptiCool, the equipment works at outdoor temperatures of up to 45 °C with maximum output. In case it should become necessary, the worldwide SMA Service and comprehensive warranty program provide maximum reliability.
