Connection Overview:
Over the past few decades, as technology advances to improve our living, so does our demand for energy skyrockets. The usage of fossil fuel and nuclear energy has resulted in global warming, acid rain, melting of the polar cap and radiation pollution, it seems like investing in renewable energy is the only way to ensure our next generation will survive and prosper.
Of all the different kinds of renewable energy available today, solar and wind are the two most popular ones favored by homeowners due to their
relatively
easy implementation and wide range of suitable sites. With the micro solar grid tie application being simplified by our GP2-400 Grid Tie Inverter, many people have started to think about feeding wind energy back to the grid with the popular
Air-X
and other homemade turbines using the same concept. However, after some investigations are being done, they are disappointed to find out that connecting wind to the grid is a whole different story.
As we know, solar has relatively stable throughput from dawn to dusk. On the other hand, wind is unstable and volatile. The major challenge presented with wind energy is sometimes it can go on for days without a breeze, and sometimes there are burst of gusts that are strong enough to damage systems. Obviously, today’s equipments are not designed to handle this inconsistency and it seems like there is something missing to complete the puzzle.
Fortunately, this missing puzzle has been found. Introducing GreenergyStar’s latest developed product: SolarWind Hybrid RX, the state of the art charge controller that can handle solar and wind at the same time! Since Air-X is a popular wind turbine in North America, our development team has specifically tailored this controller to work with the Air-X’s charging system. In addition, as requested by popular demand, this controller will also work with Solar Panels and other AC/DC wind Turbine.

What is a
SolarWind Hybrid
R
X
Charge Controller?
GreenergyStar SolarWind Hybrid RX is he most advanced charge controller in the market today. Unlike other hybrid controllers, this multipurpose device is designed to work with Southwest Windpower's
Air-X, 403,
and
303
plus other 12V AC/DC turbines and solar panels. The SolarWind Hybrid RX has utilized microprocessor based control electronics, sophisticated monitoring software, high quality finned aluminum casing and an intuitive LED display design. It is designed to work with the
GreenergyStar branded grid-tie inverters
to send renewable energy generated by Air-X, 12V AC/DC Turbine and solar panels back to the grid in a stable, controlled and safe manner. The following list will summarize its major features:
Features:
Hybrid system designed to work with Southwest Windpower's Air-X, 403, and 303 plus other 12V AC/DC turbines and 12V solar panels
Compatible with GreenergyStar branded grid-tie inverters
Maximum power: 1000W
(rated at 27V & 37.5A)
System Voltage: 12V Nominal (see input / output sections for range)
Microprocessor based control electronics to control charging, outputs and dump load
Dump load utilize
Pulse-width modulation (PWM)
switching technology to recover power during high wind periods
Manual Braking switch to isolate wind turbine from the system.
Intuitive LED Display to reflect system status
Keeps battery in an optimum charged state
Prevents overcharge and over-discharge
Internal diode to prevent reverse current to solar panels or wind turbine at night
High quality finned aluminum casing to protect the interior and dissipate heat
Input Features:
Operating voltage & current on all terminals: 11.5V ~ 27V, 0A ~ 37.5A
Maximum input voltage & current on all terminals: 30V , 40A
Withstand voltage: 35V
(anything above will damage controller)
Stand-by power consumption: 0.1W
AC Turbine
: For 3 phase AC turbine. The 3 wires from AC turbine can be connected to the terminals in no specific order. Built in rectifier will convert AC to DC.
DC Turbines
can also be connected here as the rectifier accepts DC input as well. The
TURBINE
LED will turn
Green
when there is an active input source.
Solar
: The
SOLAR
LED will turn
Green
when there is an active input source.
DC Turbine
: Recommend for Air-X since this terminal has the
Stay Online
feature. The
TURBINE
LED will not turn on since the Air-X has its own (red) charging LED. The
Blue
CHARGE
LED will turn on when there is power coming in from the inputs.
Input Protection & Specification:
Manual Turbine lock to force dump load to turn on
Pulse Width Modulated Dump Load
Stay-Online Feature to keep Air-X up and running in low battery condition
Reverse Polarity Protection
Night Time Reverse current protection to prevent current going into wind turbine and solar panels
Over current Protection (40A Fuse)
Efficiency: Maximum 98%+
Output Features:
Operating output current: 37.5A
Total maximum output current: 40A
Maximum current on individual output: 30A
Voltage tolerance: +/- 5%
Maximum Output Power: 1000W
(rated at 27V & 37.5A)
Output starts when inputs are above 12.5V
The
OUTPUT A, B, C
LED will turn
Orange
with respect to each output.
Charging Features:
Battery is an
input
and an
output
at the same time
The
CHARGE
LED will turn
Blue
indicating battery is being charged
Overcharge protection Cut off voltage: 14.7V
Over-discharge protection Cut off voltage: 11.4V
Recommend using
deep cycle batteries
if possible
Normal lead acid batteries are acceptable as well
3 charging modes: Continuous charging, Pulsing, Trickiling.
Power Supply Modes:
Mode 1 - Power Supply
When input voltages are lower than the battery's voltage, the battery will act as a supply to all outputs. Power to all outputs will be cut when the battery has drop down to 11.4V
Mode 2 - Stay Online (for Air-X only)
When battery voltage is below 11.4V and input voltages is under 9V, even though all outputs will be cut, the charge controller will still send electrical pulse to the DC input terminal every 5 - 10 seconds as indicated by the pulsing
Red
AX SIGNAL
LED. This is necessary for Air-X's internal controller to stay on. Since the Air-X will not wake up on its own, without these pulses, even if wind starts blowing the Air-X will free spin and no power will be generated.
Warning: Controller will get
damaged
if polarity of battery is incorrect
Protection Features:
Dump Load
MUST be connected at all time to protect the charge controller, no dump load = no warranty
Requires a minimum of 1.2Ohm 600W
resistive load
to be connected to the dump load terminal
Dump load activates when AC Turbine is >= 27V
Unlike conventional dump loads that short circuit on activation and drop outputs to zero, the SolarWind Hybrid RX utilizes
Pulse-width modulation (PDM)
switching technology to only dump what is necessary and conserve the rest.
(refer to Figure above)
Activating dump load will slow down the AC turbine and reduce voltage spikes.
Over voltage protection: All outputs will be cut when input voltage is over 30V. However dump load will stay on.
The
DUMMY
LED will turn
Red
when the dump load has been activated
Manual Turbine Lock (Brake)
Manual Turbine Lock is used to force dump load to fully turn on (ie: short circuit)
Useful when it is necessary to isolate AC wind turbine from the system (ie: during installation or maintenance)
Turbine lock is the red switch at the top-left corner of the Output Face (refer to Figure 1 on page 6)
