We are preparing to install a 48 volt off grid system that I would like to supplement the charging system with wind. We are on top of a mountain and we receive a lot of wind. Between solar and with back up wind turbine(s) I think we could manage to keep our 48v battery bank topped of most of the year without using a generator. Thank you for posting your video!
Thats sounds great! Good luck with your project 😃
This is boosting, when the turbine gets to its normal charging voltage you need to start bucking which is done by another module which steps the voltage down. This is where the fully automatic boost/buck controller comes into its own, you have the ability to charge from 10 volts up to 100 volts with the controller I’m using, the only time it will dump load is when the batteries are at 95%, it will switch to CV mode and dump the current into resistance coils. Most charge controllers will dump as soon as the turbine gets to 56v missing out on valuable power which should be going into the batteries.
what boost/buuck controller are you using?
Link please
Such a pity you've taken down the i1500. You have such a good and precise way of explaining everything.
Oh man, I’m so sorry. Thank you so much for that kindly words☺️
Cool idea, thanks for the info man. I like your channel!
Thank you so much😃
@@flyingtools Ι've been wondering, if someone could "simulate" an mppt controller, using a boost converter like you mentioned above, and an equivalent buck converter, switching between the two (when needed), using an arduino with a voltage sensor and some relays. So when the turbine is spinning in low wind, the boost conv path would be ON, and when it'd be going faster (the potential higher voltage), would be stepped down to meet the battery voltage. Just a thought.
@@Parafiestas Interesting idea. They
I1500 is already spinning really fast at 48 V so if we are trying to raise that voltage up to let’s say 70-80V I guess that it will spinning so fast so it will be inefficient and also maybe even closer to the point of
self-destruction of the turbine.
(Just guessing here)
But it is a really interesting idea you have there👍🏻
You make great clear videos , you need to get another wind turbine
Thank you so much! Yes, I really miss it.
@@flyingtools yeah you'll never get the same buzz from solar
Yes👍⚡🔋
Have you thought about installing a bypass system for this voltage booster? Dual solid state relays (on heat sinks with fans controlled by temp sensor) with a voltage sensing at the imput of the booster. Both negatives in parallel and the positives switched. Just a thought.
A good thought.
Yes I have, but when I expect high winds I just by pass it manually. The booster do a pretty good job by it self when the current are getting to high. It’s simply adjust the input voltage so the preset current limit not will be exeed.
Do you have a link for this booster? I'd love to see all the documented specs. I'd be a little concerned about early loading the turbine...the i1500 needs a lot of RPM to really generate power and once it's spooled up the momentum can take a lot of load and it can keep going through a lot of fluctuations in wind speed. If it's under load at 24 volts, though, it might struggle to actually get up to speed. You might see some power going to your batteries earlier but possibly are losing some of your potential total because the turbine is loaded up too early. I'd love to see two identical turbines running side by side in the same wind conditions, one with a booster like this and one running direct, and see what the totals are.
I'd love to see something that could just step up a 24v circuit to 48v in general, though. I've been trying various means of trying to convert one way or the other for a couple years in order to avoid have two or three different battery banks...I've finally given up and decided I'll have to stick to 48v.
Hi. You are absolutely right about the rpm the fact is if the wind are rasing up in speed I manually have to adjust the input voltage to match my battery voltage if I don’t do that it will of course produce less power. As I try to explain in my video it automatically switch to battery voltage when the amps starts to be over the amp limit setting
(I guess) and then the turbine will go up to full power. This would only be suitable if the windspeeds are so low so the 48 volts not are reached. Everything over that will of course be powerloss. The seller that sold this unit don’t have any more on his site but I will try to find another one on eBay for you and add it in my description later. (
I let you know) To use this together with your 24 V turbine and convert it up to 48 V can probably be a great idea👍🏻 But anything over 500 watts in the long term will probably kill it😉
So just to be clear, if the windspeed is enough to reach 48 V this unit will make you create less power, it’s only for low wind conditions.
@@flyingtools You did a good job of describing it and how it works in the video. If you could share a link to it I'd love to check it out. I think for a wind turbine like the i1500 it's not going to be a good idea, but it might be a fun little trinket to play with on some other projects.
@@ToysforWatts this seems to be it. Hope you like it, it can be used to many applikations. I personally have not bought from this seller before so I don’t know anything about him.
Have a grate one😊

nice, love it when 2 youtubers have productive discussions. nice channels you both have
@@ToysforWatts If you install the boost (and buck opoosite of boost) modules please video the process and the results. Many of us are following your channel.
Im planning to use one for a diy turbine from a hoverboard motor. One question though. Do I need to add diodes between the batteries and the output of the boost converter? I dont see any in your setup, its just a thought.
Hi there😃 Good thought, but its not necessary😊
Hi again,
sorry to bother you but i have a important question.
Istabreeze build this Chargecontroller with built in step up converter for me.
I have the I-2000 48V. They preset the booster with 35V Input and 55V Output. Now its look like the resistants is too much (too high ampere) and the windgenerator is turning really slow.
What are youre preset for the booster?
Thanks mate!
Hi. Hard to say but I think they have set it so the load starts to early. Se if you can adjust the low voltage cut of. I normally had it set to around 36v. The turbine will turn completely free to that given voltage if everything is set up ok. Hope this helps.
hello my name is Thierry I am French, I like your videos because they are very technical and your installations are well finished.
I would like to know the brand and the reference of the low wind load charger, the one presented in your video, I will soon be installing an ista breeze i2000 2000 W 48 V, thank you in advance, sorry for the translation, cordially Thierry
Hi Thierry and very welcome to my channel. I’m so happy that you like it😃 your translation works just fine👍🏻
I will give you a link to eBay on the type that I am using. Personally I have not bought from this seller so I don’t know anything about him. I bought it from a seller in Germany but he don’t have any left in his eBay store right now. I think that you be very happy with that wind turbine you are about to install. The link will be in a comment. Have a great day.

I remember reading such booster may give spikes when the voltage dropps (discharging the capacitors? ) which is bad for batteries. Any thoughts on that aspect?
The only spike that I have seen is when you hook it up to your battery, you definitely need to precharge it before you do that.But that’s the same with all of those components with large capacitors built into it. If it will hurt your battery bank probably depends more on the size of your battery bank then on this device. Thanks for your comment😊
Hi thank you for your vids,i would like to now how did you connect your dc booster to your wind turbine and batterie, thank's
Maybe in the future, I am not using those at the moment, but I have plans for a new wind turbine in the future. Thanks for your interest.
Hello , first i would like to thank you for the video, and i have one question how did you put your controler on 24v settings ??? Thank you
Hi and thank you!
It’s just to adjust the voltage with a flat head screwdriver on the small potentiometers. There is one for volt, amps and voltage cut off.
Then it just needs a big resistor to switch to when the voltage from the turbine gets too high. As a storm protection.
Yes, but I only used the brake manually if so.

I keep searching everywhere without finding my answer... I have 1600w solar system with MPPT and I would like to add a wind turbine. Can I just use factory charge controler that comes with the turbine and connect to the battery ? Or I need a complete hybryd system that manages everything ?
Hi!
I simply just connected my wind and solar system in parallel to my battery, each system with its own charge controller.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks for the question and good luck.😊
Do you think about mount step up converter on each phase wind generator ? It is possible in star configuration. It is impossible in delta configuration.
Hi. No, directly after the rectifier seems to be the most efficient, cheapest and easiest way to do this I think.
@@flyingtools Thanks for the answer! What is your the highest power from the wind turbine ? Is it original rotor and blades ? A lot of people modified that things to make wind turbine more efficient.
I have seen a little over 1500 watts but that was in an extremely hard gust. This one is not modified at all. I run the 3 blade black version. I have also tested the five blade version but I was not happy with that.
@@flyingtools Thanks for the answer! Have a nice day!
I have instabreze I2000 with instabreze pro controler and i try with 1800w booster and is braking the wind turbine. Can you share some more detail about the setup?Will be apreciated, thank you!
Hi, you have to adjust the low voltage cut off so it will not load the turbine from standing still. I connected it to a 12 V battery and adjusted it, so it stopped to take power from the battery and then I tried from there.
Hope this helps, and I wish you luck 😊
Thank you for response , very appreciate i have now setup end start to work. Just that turbine is generating 10A or more and at the exit of the booster i read bearliy 1A with the batery not full.
i wander if the booster would work on a solar panel output ...
Yes, i think so. Interesting idea👍🏻
Thanks for the video, really interesting! So this should work with 24V wind turbine as well? I have the basic orange 12/24V wind controller and it charges fine with 12V battery but won't start charging under 4m/s winds at 24V. Hälsningar från Finland!
Hi and thank you😃.
Yes I think it will work just fine👍🏻 The lowest voltage on the input side is around 9v so it will not work under that voltage.
Thank you so much for your comment/question 😊
@@flyingtools Yes that 9V will be plenty. Did you try other voltages than 24V on input side? Output voltage to max charge voltage I presume? I measured the AC voltage coming from wind turbine to controller and it was about 15V (10V between phases) for 12V battery and 29V (20V between phases) for 24V battery when charging so I will try achieve that 15V AC first before rectifier. I've tried to use just a 3-phase rectifier but of course it won't do anything if the voltage stays below battery voltage. I ordered it, thanks to you! I'll make a video about it if I get it working 😃👍
@@JoniK1 24v was the lowest voltage I used. 36v was most efficient, for me. 18v in a 24v system. Yes do that, I have subscribed to you and looking forward to se more of you 😃👍🏻
4 m/s thats low vind charging! is that turbine a i1500 aswell? and how much watt do you get at 6 m/s? ,, i have a 3 bladed i1500 too just havent finised mounting it permanent yet,,
greetings from Danmark
Hello, great videos! I have a similar controller, Where did you connect the converter inside the controller?
Thank you!
I think it was between the battery and the controller. It’s now two years ago so I’m hardly remember it, and i am not having this system anymore.
@flyingtools Thank You!
Hello Sir, I have such a booster, and I want to install it same as you did, after the 3-phase rectifier bridge in the regulator box. But I don't know which exactly are the contact plus (+) and minus (-) points on the regulator electronics board. I know where the 3 phases for AC go, but I don't know the DC output from the rectifier bridge so I can connect the booster directly there, and then to the batteries bank. Any advice on how I can identify the plus (+) and minus (-) points ??? That would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance !!!
Hi there. I simply connect the booster inputs where the battery normally is connected to the controller. - and + should be marked but if you are unsure about that you have to ask an electrician so maby he can help you to measure that up for you. Sorry, but this is hard to answer without seeing it irl.
@@flyingtools You are indeed correct Sir. Actually that is where the voltage from the regulator comes in. And from the booster the output should go to the (+) and (-) from the batteries bank. This makes sense. And I can make bypass circuit so I don't use the booster when there is strong/enough wind to produce the voltage I need. I will manage to connect it eventually. Thank you !!!
Can this booster be used to feed power from wind turbine and rectifier bridge into a solar on-grid inverter ?
Hi!
I have not tested that my self but I think that it will work just fine.
I have a crazy Idea, can you make the regulated output of the wind charge controller as an input of a solar charge controller, coz Im planning this as an input for my hybrid solar off-grid inverter charge controller, because in that inverter not much power is wasted because when the inverter sense that the battery is full the generated energy is then be used first by current house consumptions and wind turbine have a lot of wasted energy going into the dump load
It should be possible, but the load has to be higher than the output from the turbine if not, the turbine will over rev and the voltage will rise and maybe destroy your controller or/and your turbine.
@@flyingtools Thanks for the response, If the excess power is still great than that of the load, and the inverter will only get the energy the load required, then the issue is the turbine is still gonna spin too fast, but I think the wind charge controller will do its job, after sensing that the turbine is producing too much voltage against all the loads the wind charge controller will trigger its break mode, and will shore the turbine to prevent it from spinning crazy, thanks for the response sir, have a Nice day!
Hi,
quick question:
As far i can read it from the other comments you have this construction:
Windturbine --> Chargecontroller --> Rectifier --> DC Boost --> Battery.
You connect the DC Boost to the rectifier. Correct? Where in this controller i connect the rectifier? Maybe have a link of the rectifier you use?
Would be awesome!
Thanks
Erik
Hi. The rectifier is built in to this controller and I have connect the step up voltage controller AFTER the rectifier and then direct to the battery. I will put a link in the description later.
@@flyingtools Would be great if you have some pictures or anything to bild it myself
@@flyingtools how about the link? Thanks!

Bra film! Hur får man fast det på en stolpe. Jag tänkte sätta den på mitt tidigare fäste för antenn och parabol. Har prövat skandal Turbinen Vevor innan och fick som mest ut 2 volt... ligger fortfarande i tvist med kina företaget. Dock satt den bra på antennfästet. Efter många timmars arbete.
Hej och tack!!
Jag svarvade till änden på stolpen så det passade perfekt sedan använde jag orginal skruvarna och satte även en typ av avgasklamma för att klämma ihop det hela ordentligt, slitsade röret först. Det får vara ett rejält fäste för vid full effekt belastar den stolpen med 160kg horisontellt.
(Ej något jag räknat ut själv) men det trycker rejält! Jag var mycket nöjd med denna men efter att jag ökat batterispänningen till 400v så sålde jag detta. Saknar det dock nu när det blåser rejält och från rätt håll😅
Tack för din kommentar och välkommen😊
@@flyingtools Jag planerar att testa en Wind generator IstaBreeze® Air-Speed in 12V or 24V - carbon blades. Det tycks vara den minsta bästa. Rapport kommer på min kanal. Har kört med en fläkt från en luftvärmepump. Vilket gav mer än Vevor..
What happens when the turbine goes beyond 48v and my battery is also 48v with this in between?
Im struggeling to find a buck boost type that can handle anything between 24 and say 90v for the i1500.
Hi. I had it sett to maximum voltage in high wind conditions. And when the battery is full the charge controller will start to brake the turbine. When that’s happens the voltage drops quickly and the brake releases, the brake will the engage again and this cycle will be repeated.
So I highly recommend to brake the turbine manually when the battery if full.
Thanks for a good question👍🏻
@@flyingtools yeah I get that, but i was wondering if the boost converter will survive 48v+ in gusts etc.
@@Deiphobuzz it can handle up to 90volts. So the voltage is not the problem. I was more concerned about the current, or the load on it. Mine has been working fine around 56v and 10-18 amps. And of course even higher amps in hard wind gusts. But in storm conditions I bypass it so it not was overloaded.
@@flyingtools aah okay, so it just passes through the voltage to the battery when the input gets higher than the set output?
I have a 48v bank, and a 48v turbine, with a 48v grid tied inverter. I thought it might blow up if the wind would push the input side to say 60v, while the converters i put was locked to 48v.
Might just order it then. Sounds promising as an alternative to a 1000 euro controller.
@@Deiphobuzz in my case I have a brake controller before the step up voltage regulator, so over 57v the brake engage. I have only used this setup together with my battery bank so no idea how it will work together with an grid tied inverter.
How did u install your system ? First at all the Turbine, then the charger, then the dc/dc Converter and at least ur Batterie?
Yes, you are right, turbine, controller, rectifier, dc/dc and battery.
Did you change any settings on your turbine? The break load is still 55.6V? Did the DC/DC convert from 20-60V and push up to stable 48V?
Didn't know how to install, want to build the sams system for low wind. thank you
Si tu en mais 2 en parallèle pense tu que sa marcherais a haute puissance.
Yes I think that will work. But you have to set them to the same input voltage and then do the same with the amp setting I guess.
Hello
Do you know why my microwave and washing machine are making a high pitch sound when running? I have a wind turbine and 4 batteries, I don't have the ground installed yet. Thank you
Maybe a not so clean sinus wave from your inverter. You should definitely take care of your grounding, it’s important.
@@flyingtools thank you
Hi, can you help me ? I have problem to conected and what Settings should i put for ista breeze controler.
Hi, no, it depends on your battery chemistry. If you don’t know how to connect it I recommend you to contact your local installer.
Hope you sort it out.
sorry, I described my problem wrong. I'm just wondering how to set the step up booster so that the turbine can freely spin up to over 20v. I have 48v LiFePo batteries and I want to use step up for slow wind to make it more effective. now it seems to me that the booster does not allow it to accelerate in small winds
@@gieroj24 okey, then you need to raise the cut off voltage up. Connect it to a 24 volt battery on the input side and adjust it until it stops output anything on the
”high voltage side” of the boster.
From there you will have a good starting point.
Hi is your turbine the 24v unit and you are using the converter to onceythe voltage to charge at 48v
Hi. The turbine is a 48 V version. In low wind, the voltage are low so this converter throw that voltage up to my battery voltage so it can charge in those low wind conditions.
@@flyingtools thanks for your reply
You’re welcome.
Hi , I need your advice , I want to buy an ista breeze i2000 wind turbine and I would like to know how do you think about it with respect to quality, warranty , customer service and over all energy production and efficiency
Thank you in advance
Hi!
Quality and energy production is good for that price, I am satisfied.
Warranty and customer service is hard to say, I have not had any problems yet.
Hope this help and I
wish you good luck 😊
@@flyingtools thank you for your reply and time I find it really helpful. One more question, for the same price range do you think there is a better quality turbine that you may recommend ?
And what do you recommend about the inverter should I get the ista-breeze one or is there any better ?
I think istabreeze are the best value for the money. I had tried to find an mppt inverter for wind, they will charge even in lower wind conditions or you can do as I have in my other video “low wind charging” when I use a voltages step-up converter.
Hi great show, l have two battery banks 4 at twenty four volts and 4 Twelve volts batteries at one hundred and ten amps each, l installed a five hundred what turbine l do not expect to get that but would like to top up my twelve volt battery bank as and when. The thing is it won’t charge the twelve volts system but will charge the twenty four battery system, would a buck boost help with this problem. Many thanks to you. 🇬🇧
Hi and thank you so much. What kind of a charge regulator do you have? This step up converter starts to work over 20v so 12v is not recommended. If you hooked up your battery directly after your rectifier your wind turbine should charge your battery.
@@flyingtools Hi, my controller is low speed boost rated 12v - 24v mppt 5 to 40A Many thanks.
Strange, it should charge. If you just use a rectifier with your 12v battery bank I think it will charge just fine even in low winds conditions, assuming that you’re turbine are on 24 V, but of corse, you need to have some kind of brake to,
@@flyingtools Thank you very much for your reply, all the very best to you. 🇬🇧
And thank you John.😊 Hope you find out a way to make it charge.
So, you have the "dumb" half of an MPPT controller. You manually switch the boost converter out of the circuit in high winds. But who wants that job?
Thats not a jobb, thats a hobby😉
Hello can you tell me where did you get that and what's the cost thanks in advance
Hi.
I bought it on eBay.
Around 25 dollars.
Search for:
DC-DC Constant Current 1500W 30A Boost Converter Step Up Power Supply
Hope this helps.
@@flyingtools yes it did, am always looking at your videos, thanks again,,,, will subscribe soon
You’re welcome.
Thank you so much, glad to have you here:-)
@@flyingtools I hope that is supposed to say 25...
@@nunyabusiness2191 yes you are righ.. i must been thinking in sek😅 Thanks for letting me know. I will correct that now.👍🏻
You look just like an older Torstein Horgmo.
Haha, i had to Google it and I can se the similarity.
Hello, you show your system with the boost converter go from 24v to 48v instantaneously. How you do that, when the output from the booster is connecte to a 48v battery? It should always show the battery voltage. Changing from 24v to 48v its like changing batteries. I'm confused... 4:36 min
Hi. The volt meter is connected between the rectifier and the converter’s input side. I have done it like this because I rather would like to see the voltage that the wind turbine put out, so I can set the step up voltage converter correctly. The battery voltage can I see in my inverters.
Thanks for your question, I understand that it can look a bit confusing😅.
I see. Mine is connected from rectifier to converter and then meter with battery. So how did you set the converter to fix on 24v? Input potentiometer? Mine only let 7 to 8v pass on the input and the potentiometer next to the input is fully turned clockwise meaning, there is no limitation...
For what I understood, the pot next to the Vin, is for undervoltage cut. Did you set this pot to cut when voltage is below 24v?
@@diogomartins9101 i’m sorry but I can’t remember which put it was that controlled low voltage cut off and sadly I cannot test it either because I am not using that system anymore.
