The Support Structure Blue-hybrid-support-structure Support structure / framework – The frame consists of many parts which can be assembled and disassembled with ease. The whole idea behind our design is to develop a modularly extendable hybrid system. In other words, to facilitate for additional hybrid systems that may be added on at a later stage, should a larger capacity generator be needed. All frame parts can be disassembled and easily stored in a 20’ container. Electronics
Electronic components – Our hybrid system is designed to be user-friendly and the layout of the whole system is kept to its simplest form. The box-shaped container beneath the turbine encloses the maglev generator and all electronic components, namely, i. Inverters (Wind and Solar) ii. Surge voltage protection and rectifiers iii. Solar charge controllers iv. Off-grid management devices v. Batteries and cables |
The Helix Turbine
Maglev Generator
The maglev generator Implements the mechanism of magnetic levitation in our generators. The advantage of integrating maglev mechanisms with generators is to alleviate the axle force exerted onto the bearings (between the rotor and the stator) which will consequently increase the life span of these bearings, enhance mechanical efficiency and prolongs maintenance intervals. |
The Solar Panels
Crystalline solar modules with a conversion efficiency of 18% that will improve gradually over time. Additionally, “Solar tracking†mechanisms are incorporated to increase efficiency by a further 30 – 40%. The mechanism renders the theory of exposing solarmodules to perpendicular sun rays to gain optimalefficiency by way of tracking the movement of the sun. Blue Hybrid FeaturesFlexible

In contrast to multi-megawatt systems, small wind turbines are used mainly as battery chargers for stand-alone power supplies. As heating mills for the support of heating systems, and as wind pumps for water supply systems. In the past few years another trend has emerged: The use of small, grid-connected, wind turbines whose generated energy is supplied directly into existing public grids or stand-alone grids.
In more detail:
Together with batteries, the Blue Hybrid creates an AC grid in which power generators, as well as energy loads, can be connected, depending on the requirements. In doing so, the Blue Hybrid performs all control processes, such as the management of the grid’s voltage and frequency. In addition, it channels surplus energy directly to the batteries to store it there. Conversely, it supplies the AC grid with the energy stored in the batteries in the event of any shortage caused by consumption exceeding production.
