Wind Driven Generator

Broadly speaking, a wind driven generator refers to any device that converts wind energy into any usable form of energy. We primarily produce the machine which converts wind energy into electric energy. This type of wind driven generator is also called wind generator, or wind turbine generator.

We produce this product because we saw the demand in both national and international market. As we all know, non-renewable resources like petroleum and coals are decreasing. People around the world are looking for new energies to replace conventional resources. Wind energy is one of the popular new energies being increasingly used for electricity generation. So, wind driven generators are increasingly demanded all over the globe.

History
The earliest wind driven generator, exactly speaking, the first windmill for electricity generation, appeared in the late 19th century.
By the end of the first decade of 20th century, there were 72 wind driven generators from 5kW to 25kW in Denmark.
Through out 1920s and 1930s, wind powered generators were increasingly used in America, especially in farms out of electricity distribution systems. These small wind driven generators for farms were designed in two-blade and run on horizontal axis.
In 1957, a 24m diameter wind turbine was installed and worked from 1957 to 1967, in Denmark. This was the earliest three-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine, which is similar to those we commonly used nowadays for commercially power generation.
Since then, wind power generators have been constantly used for either individual or commercial power generation.

Modern wind driven generators are mostly designed with three blades and run on horizontal axis. Some of them operate at constant speed, and some of them run on variable speed. However, wind powered electric generators operating on variable speed collect more energy. In order to prevent generator damages caused by extremely strong wind, modern wind powered generators are usually manufactured with shut down functions.
