Wind charge controller

Buckner does not design anything.  He is a U.S. sales/warranty center for the Chinese-designed MakeSkyBlue product line.

Ohh okay I thought he designed that thing. Hmm Sid, are you able to design one for me maybe? When ever you have free time not anytime soon probably, I know you got a lot going on.

Or maybe I’ll shell out some money for a mid nite classic 150

Probably your best bet would be to go for a tried-and-true like the Midnite systems.  I really don't want to get into designing a new MPPT product from the ground up...I'm hoping against hope that there'll be some cost-effective Chinese MPPT that I can recommend.  Unfortunately, I have yet to find one...Epever Tracer is very close, if only they'd speed up their voltage regulator...

Or maybe I’ll shell out some money for a mid nite classic 150

The price is equal  to a  GS inverrter  or  I  can get  7  MSB  controllers 60 amps .     I  use 2  MSB  60 amp  to charge lithium ion battery at  16s  66 volts and now only use  the 67 volt  e-bike  charger  at night .  I  think  the MSB controller is the best for the price .   Thank you for the information .  

Yea I do understand that but MSB don’t have a wind charge controller. Mid nite works on all systems & has a built in power curve table for the TSR for wind. & also has aux to trigger a relay for dump loads. I’m already down to buy a GS inverter when time comes just getting all my ducks in a row first.

& currently I have one mid nite 250 for one array & msb on another array. My WIND production i was sending power straight to the batteries(but that was when I had agm now I have lithium ion) with a mechanical relay & controller dumping over voltage in batteries. I don’t wanna hook that up to my new lithium ion.

Hopefully we'll have Rev. C out by then (it's all waiting on me to get stuff solidified and then ordered)...and it's a feature I'm considering: dump load control output.  It could either be the little genstart relays (think: anything connected to a CPU can be used for almost anything!), OR even using the main "AC Input" relays.

Think using the AC Input terminals as a dump load OUTPUT...inverter can turn them on or off as needed.  Not to mention on Rev. C switching between 120v out or 240v out (think water heater / car charger) to adjust the dump load a bit.

I don’t wanna hook that up to my new lithium ion

I  try hooking up straight  to the lithium ion battery  one time  and it is too dangerous  to overcharge  and  have to hook lithium ion battery to a charge controller no matter what the cost .   Overcharge  lithium ion  to 400 degree F  and have thermal runaway and fire .  

Yes that would be neat. I & many others would totally love that 

I wanted to chime in here. MSB does in fact make a Wind Turbine charger. Buckner has one or two of these but from what I can tell they are not all that great.

Hi Sean, do you have a link for them? I don’t see them on the site.

It isn't that hard to make your own.  Provided you can work with 12Volts to operate it. A cheap regulator module, a cheap 12Volt relay, and a more expensive final relay. I would assume your turbine is putting out 3 phase power. And then be rectified and charge controlled now.  With the module hooked to the batteries, the cheap relay hooked to the module, and then the more expensive relay hooked to the cheap one, when the Voltage would climb, the module would provide power to the cheap relay and it would cause the more expensive one to operate. That relay would either open one leg of the 3 phase or short one leg of the 3 phase. Or to connect one leg to a dump load.
