SMARTBOX™ Controller for HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine WT6500 Owner’s Manual - Rev14
Operation
Introduction
The basic operation of the turbine/SMARTBOX™ Controller electronic system is to
optimizetheefcientutilizationoftheenergycapturedfromthewind.Lowwindenergy
is stored in batteries while loads are connected automatically to the grid. High wind
energyisefcientlyandrapidlytransferredtotheloadviathebulkstoragecapacityof
the batteries.
If the batteries are fully charged and no AC demand is present, the SMARTBOX™
Controller will send the turbine’s energy to a dump load, and wait for an AC demand.
Turbine Operating States
The turbine goes through a series of different states. The chart lists and describes
each possible operating state:

Controller will also maintain one of three different turbine operating states: turbine
running, fault stop and user stop.
