Value Package
1
kW Remote System Package
Performance:
60 - 150 AC Kilowatt-hours (kWh's) per month (depending on wind
resource)
Recommended for: Typical off-grid homes, schools, clinics,
etc.
Locations where delivering or storing diesel fuel is a problem
Retrofit to existing diesel-only power system to provide up to 24-hour
power availability
Wind Class 2 or higher
Note:
This system contains batteries and is typically used in conjunction
with a back-up generator (gasoline, propane, or diesel fuel). These
systems are modular and can be expanded easily.
We
recommend this package for homes, schools, clinics and other smaller
off-grid applications. These systems are also easily retrofitted
to existing diesel-only systems in order to save fuel and provide
up to 24-hour power.
The
BWC Remote.System stores excess energy in batteries for use during
low wind periods. It can also charge the batteries from a back-up
generator (requires SB option). With a manually controlled
back-up generator the Remote.System can provide up to 24-hour power.
The
Tubular Tilt-up towers can be installed without concrete and they
tilt-up after all the assembly work is done on the ground. The 64
ft. tower in this package is the most common height used with the
XL.1 turbine. For sites with trees, taller towers are recommended.
These tower are available in heights up to 104 ft.
The
batteries are Trojan T-105's, a workhorse of the home power industry
and an excellent value. A total of four individual 6 volt batteries
are connected in series to provide 24 VDC nominal. This battery
bank will supply up to several days of power without wind energy
input. The 500 W Trace TS524 modified-sine-wave inverter provides
120 VAC, 60 Hz (or 230 V, 50 Hz at 400 W) and is available
with a stand-by (SB: battery-charging and transfer relay) option.
A back-up engine generator can be easily integrated, but it must
be manually started and stopped.
In
addition to the equipment costs given below, a complete installation
will typically include the following costs: shipping, sales
tax, permit costs, foundation and anchoring (some soil types), wire
run, turbine and tower erection, battery racks or vault, electrical
hook-up, and inspection fees. Some users also incorporate a back-up
gas, propane, or diesel generator into the system for extended periods
of low wind speed. Your dealer or Bergey WindPower can assist you
in budgeting these additional costs. For budgeting purposes,
these costs typically range from $500 (customer installed, no sales
tax, etc) to $1,500 (Certified Dealer, sales tax, etc).
