Rutland Wind Generators

Rutland 913 and 914i Windchargers

914i now with up to 30% more power than 913

The latest Rutland 914i Windcharger intelligently uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to optimise the generator operation, to perfectly match the speed of the turbine, thereby achieving a highly efficient and reliable power output.

Features of the Rutland 914i:

– Delivers more ampere-hours per day. Produces up to 30% more energy than the highly successful and market-leading 913 model
– Uses the very latest technology and features an innovative new MPPT system
– Same compact size yet almost 3 times more powerful. The first 910mm diameter Rutland turbine produced 50w @ 10m/s (19 knots), and on the 914i it now produces a power rating of 140w @ 11m/s. Amazing improvement.
– Aerodynamically styled
– Extremely quiet and smooth in operation

Rutlands have over 30 years worldwide sailing experience and have been used on sailing yachts because they give their owners total peace of mind and complete confidence.

Rutland Windchargers are also found on Inland boats, Caravans, Roadside Signs, Streetlights & Off-grid CCTV

Dimensions of 913 and 914i

Mounting requirements: Wind generator stem fits inside a 41mm diameter stainless steel tube.

HRDi Charge Controller for 913/914

The HRDi is the latest wind & solar charge controller that evolves from and improves on the successful HRDX controller. The contemporary design meets the needs of ever increasing power demands and features a user selectable digital display. The controller incorporates Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology to regulate battery voltage preventing overcharge.

Charge control and split charging for use with Rutland 503, 504, 913 or FM910-3 and the 914i Windchargers, and up to 100 w of solar panels

Features:

• Clear alpha-numeric digital LCD screen with user display options
• Connectable to two independent battery banks with voltages shown on the display
• Push-button activated and timer controlled backlight
• Autoconfiguration to 12 or 24 volt supply
• Latest technology microcontroller based system shuts wind charger down when batteries are full
• Wall-mounted modern moulded structure with easy access connection ports
• Manual shutdown switch
• Bulk and float phase charge control indicated on LCD
• Temperature compensation of charge voltage using internal sensor or external sensor also supplied
• Optional remote display can be added via dedicated port (to follow later this year)
• Accepts up to 6 mm² cables (SWG 11 or AWG 9)

Technical Features:

HRSi Charge Regulator for 913/914

HRSI REGULATOR HRSi Charge Regulator leads the small wind turbine industry in technology and product features. The HRSi conveniently brings together a Rutland Windcharger charge regulator with an input for up to 100 watts of photovoltaic panels in a single easy to install device.

Multi-stage charge control delivers appropriate charge levels required to ensure your batteries get the maximum power they are able to retain and remain float charged.

Suitable for charge regulation of the Rutland 913 or 914

Features:

• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) regulation is now more finely controlled using the latest programmable microcontrollers
• The HRSi monitors battery voltage and uses PWM to prevent overcharge.
• As peak voltages are reached the HRSi tapers the current from the wind & solar chargers gradually reducing the charge to float stage level.
• This feature gradually reduces the speed of the turbine to an eventual “idle” thus extending the working life of the wind charger.
• As the battery discharges the wind turbine responds by increasing speed to deliver more power.
• Solar power is also tapered in the same way.
• An intelligent Microcontroller system is programmed to deliver bulk and float phase charging. This feature ensures that batteries are optimally charged, especially when unattended.
• LED indicators keep the user informed about battery voltage levels and charging status
• The HRSi regulator can charge a single bank of batteries at either 12 or 24 volts.
• A manual shutdown switch allows the user to stop the wind & solar chargers from delivering power to the battery if required. The wind charger slows to an “idle” in this mode.
• Easy to connect terminals to interface wind charger, solar panels & battery connection in one.
• Temperature compensation automatically adjusts the settings of the regulator to take account of varying temperatures thus ensuring maximum charging efficiency in all conditions.
• Built-in blocking diode avoids conflict with other charging sources to the same battery.
• Automatic voltage detection for 12 or 24 volt systems.
• Built-in charge fuse protects the wiring circuit in the event of accidental reverse polarity connection.

Notes:

1. Solar panels must be fitted with diodes

2. Batteries must be connected first for auto-detection

3. Care should be taken when connecting the HRSi, as reverse polarity connection will cause damage.

4. Solazone does not recommend connecting solar panels to this regulator in Australian conditions.

5. Dimensions: 130 x 80 x 42 mm, packaged weight 255 g

Rutland 1200 Windcharger

1. The Rutland 1200 model maintains this brand’s reputation for turbines with a very low wind speed start up – this means that you capture energy from the lowest and most commonly experienced wind flows so you can rely on your Rutland for the energy you need.

Rutland 1200 performance curve

2. The finely designed blade profile remains almost silent across all wind speeds so you can rest assured that you and your neighbours will not be disturbed by aerodynamic noise. This important feature has been benchmarked against existing competitors and the Rutland 1200 is the quietest in the market.

3. It’s powerful – in high winds, the Rutland 1200 blade achieves high rotation levels thus delivering more power than any other turbine of its diameter range at 3, 6, 12 & 15m/s (6, 12, 23 & 29Knots)

Design Features

• Unique Tri-namic Profile Blades   The most advanced Marlec designed Tri-namic Blade brings together low wind speed startup with high wind speed power performance and almost silent running across all wind speeds.
• 3-Phase AC power delivered from the turbine to the controller minimises voltage drop on long cable runs
• The low friction generator responds rapidly to windspeed changes and its inertia drives the turbine on between gusts to capture more energy
• Power optimising Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) boosts the turbine’s output
• Marine-grade stainless steel and aluminium are combined with modern, durable but lightweight materials to give a high-quality build and finish.

The Rutland 1200 includes the controller needed for battery charging up to 2 separate battery banks.  It is a purpose-designed wind and solar energy hybrid controller accepting inputs from the Rutland 1200 and up to 20A of solar panels.

Select the model required, 12V or 24V. The regulator should be located within a 1.5m cable run of the battery bank.

An optional remote digital display is available.
