PV, micro-wind generator powering Spanish school

Abstract

The Fatronik Technological Centre in Germany has designed and installed a micro-wind generator for the Aubixa Euskal Girotze boarding center in Elgoibar, northern Spain. The 2.5 kW micro-wind generator has been producing energy for the boarding center's four refrigerators, control room, data-reception sensors and PCs. Four 120 kW PV plates have been incorporated into the micro-wind generator, for a hybrid system which takes maximum advantage of both renewable resources.
