The GUNT Wind Energy Conversion Trainer demonstrates how kinetic wind energy is converted into electrical energy using a laboratory-scale wind tunnel system. It includes a rotor, generator, axial fan, and an off-grid control unit for energy storage and consumption, offering hands-on training in renewable energy generation and measurement.
Product Features
- Lab-scale wind power plant in a controlled wind tunnel setup
- Axial fan generates adjustable airflow; flow straightener ensures consistent, low-turbulence wind
- Rotor and generator simulate realistic wind energy conversion process
- Electrical energy stored via accumulator and used by internal or external loads (e.g., bulbs or heater)
- Off-grid system design with no connection to public power grid
- Wind velocity adjustable by controlling fan speed
- Digital display of measurements: wind velocity (in front of and behind rotor), rotor speed, voltage, and current
- Data transmission to PC via USB for analysis using included GUNT software
- Network-capable software allows access and analysis from multiple workstations via LAN/WLAN
- Printed circuit diagram on control unit for easy component identification
- Option to connect a larger outdoor wind turbine for real-wind experiments
Benefits
- Hands-on training in converting wind energy into usable electrical power
- Teaches principles of off-grid energy systems and storage
- Ideal for technical education in renewable energy and sustainable technologies
- Supports safe experimentation with detailed digital data acquisition and analysis
