1. Overview
The BWC EXCEL 1-24 wind turbine system is a state-of-the-art small generator designed to charge bat-
teries and supply electrical loads in a 24 VDC DC-bus based remote power system. When used in con-
junction with a suitable sine wave DC-AC inverter and a 24 VDC battery bank the EXCEL 1-24 can also
be connected to the power grid.
The EXCEL 1-24 turbine consists of an 8.2’, 75 lb wind turbine rated at 1,000 watts, and a multi-function
turbine and system controller: the PowerCenter.
The EXCEL 1-24 wind turbine features superior low-wind-speed performance, very high system efficien-
cy, and low noise. The PowerCenter features a solar regulator, a dump load capability, an automated
time-based equalization function, and special circuitry to boost the low wind speed performance of the
EXCEL 1 wind turbine.
The BWC EXCEL 1-24 is offered with the optional guyed tubular Tilt Tower, which comes in heights from
60’ to 100’. The Tilt Tower is shown in Figure 1. For installation procedures on this tower, please refer to
the “BWC EXCEL 1 Tilt Tower Installation Manual”. This manual is available on-line at
