Med-Inn, Güllük: two Magnums for the roof

At Güllük, near Milas, the Med-Inn Boutique Hotel looks out over a quiet Aegean bay where the breeze off the sea rarely stops. Soon that breeze will help power the hotel.

Two TESUP Magnum wind turbines are going on the hotel roof. Each will have its own TESUP charge controller, and both will feed one 10 kW inverter with two MPPT inputs. Here is the plan, and why it suits a hotel by the sea.

A boutique hotel on the water

Med-Inn is a small hotel with a pool garden, palm trees and its own pier into the bay. A hotel uses power all day and all night: lights, kitchens, pool pumps and, in summer, air conditioning. On the coast the wind often keeps going after sunset, when solar panels have stopped for the day.

Two Magnums on the roof

The turbines will stand on the roof, the highest point of the building. Up there the wind is cleaner and steadier than in the garden below, where palms and walls break it up. Our visualisation shows them on the round stair tower, on the right of the building.

The Magnum is our horizontal-axis turbine, with a white aluminium body and a 2.35 m rotor. It turns to face the wind on its own, so it does not matter which way the breeze comes in from the bay.

How the system fits together

• 2 × TESUP Magnum: horizontal-axis wind turbines on the roof.
• 2 × TESUP charge controller with IoT: one for each turbine. It turns the turbine's AC output into DC and reports to MyTESUP.
• 1 × 10 kW inverter with 2 MPPT inputs: one input per turbine, with AC out to the hotel.

Each Magnum has its own input on the inverter. MPPT stands for maximum power point tracking: the inverter finds the best operating point for each turbine on its own. If one rotor sees a stronger gust than the other, neither holds the other back.

Each charge controller with IoT also connects to MyTESUP. It measures voltage and current every second, so the hotel can follow both turbines live on a phone.

What comes next

We will share photos from the installation day. Once the turbines are running, their real numbers will show up in MyTESUP, and you can see how TESUP turbines perform around the world on our live performance page.
