Tie Inverter
Wind Turbine / Power Inverter / Grid Tie Question?
I am going to be making a wind turbine in the near future to supplement my home power usage, but I don’t want to attach it to a battery bank. I am hoping to grid tie the turbine and just convert it to AC power with an inverter and feed it directly through my home / Power grid.
So I’m wondering is there a way to convert an average AC inverter so it can be plugged directly in to a houses AC power outlet? I have seen these so called “plug and play” grid tie inverters online, but they are quite costly and only offer small power conversion (in the range of 250 Watts) in the price range I hope to stay around.
*/Just to add to this. I’m sure no one needs this info, but the turbine will probably create AC power, but it would be messy AC. So i am going to be using a rectifier to make the power DC, and then convert it to clean AC with the inverter. Any tips on this process would also be greatly appreciated./*
Throw what you know of the value of the el-cheapo inverters out. They are cheap for a reason, they don’t have to satisfy anybody, but your loads.
You need an inverter made and approved for grid-tie, to safely sync to inverter waveform to the line waveform, and to properly shut down when utility AC fails. They are also usually pure sine wave, while your el-cheapo use a so-called modified sine wave, no good to feed to the utility.
For what they have to do, they aren’t that expensive really.
According to the seller linked below, a proper 700W grid-tie inverter costs around a grand.
