The Jacobs®
Grid Intertie System takes the power that the wind plant produces and
converts it to useable energy and transfers it to the utility grid (power
company) through the customers circuit breaker panel. When the customers
usage exceeds the wind systems output, the additional power required is drawn
from the utility grid. If the electrical needs are satisfied by the wind
system, no power is used from the utility. During periods of sustained
high winds the system may produce more power than is consumed, a financial
return can be realized by selling the excess power to the utility company and
through net energy savings. The Grid Intertie
System is not a backup power system, if the utility power
goes out, the control shuts down until the utility power
comes back on.
Basic system consists of the following:
- Wind Turbine
- Grid Intertie Controls
- Tower & Hinges
