This 50 kW wind turbine at the Alaska Applied Sciences, Inc. (AASI) windplant in Palm Springs, CA is operating in Self Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) mode, at variable speed, with no connection to the SCE electricity grid, delivering all its captured energy to a 14 Ohm resistive load bank. This simulates "distributed" wind turbines or windplants, with no connection to the electricity grid, autonomously generating Hydrogen or Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) fuels for pipeline delivery for transportation and / or combined heat and power (CHP). An electrolysis stack or an NH3 synthesis plant presents a simple DC load for the rectified turbine power output. This wind turbine's generator is a common, low-cost, squirrel cage induction motor operating in SEIG mode, which may be scaled to multi-MW for large annual production of transportation and CHP carbon-emissions-free fuel.
