Auroville Wind Systems

Our Wind Generators are often installed in combination with solar power or diesel generators as Hybrid Power Systems. As the sole means of power-supply, these systems find application in communities in remote locations where the utility grid does not extend. AWS has installed these Hybrid Systems in many states in India such as Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Sikkim, Ladhak and West Bengal.

AWS is the first company in India to offer entirely indigenously manufactured wind battery chargers.

AWS designed, manufactured and supplied the first "Wind-Diesel Plant" in India. A 500 kW Wind farm on Sagar Island in the Ganges Delta in West Bengal. This project was funded by the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) and Indian Canadian Environment Fund (ICEF) to demonstrate the autonomous operation of asynchronous wind generators in an isolated grid - a technology developed in Canada. The diesel generators are used to start up ten 50 kW wind-generators. Once the power output of the wind-generators is stabilized, the diesel generators are switched off. AWS operates the 1st phase of the power plant since March 2002 and supplies power to 7 local villages. This is the first system of its kind in Asia.

We represent the Canadian based companies Atlantic Orient Canada Inc. for the 50 kW AOC 15/50 Wind Generator and Atlantic Wind Test Site for the WDICS Control System.
