Four questions to find the best match
> Minimum DC voltage of the turbine under load
(at approx. 3 m/s wind speed or cut-in wind
speed)?
> Maximum DC voltage of the turbine under load
(at approx. 12 m/s wind speed)?
> Nominal power of the turbine?
> Maximum open circuit DC voltage of the turbine
(important for over voltage protection (OVP)
matching)
