The widespread use of wind power plants can provide full or partial energy supply to the consumer, taking into account certain investments and the instability of energy production. Modern wind energy technology involves the conversion of mechanical energy of the wind flow into electrical energy with subsequent conversion, at the request of the consumer, into thermal energy. In addition, the unprocessed use of the low-potential part of the wind flow, characterized by non-uniformity and randomness of its reception for the purpose of supplying heat to the recipient, requires new approaches to solving this problem. Bench experimental studies of this heater confirmed the adequacy of the mathematical model: within an hour, the temperature increase of the heater core changed from 22 °C to 36 °C at a voltage of 66 V and the number of pulses entering the heater coil was (15–17) discharges, which corresponds to the values of the mathematical expectation of the wind speed of (4–5.2) m∙s−1 in the range of wind speed (4–8) m∙s−1. The scientific novelty of this work consists in the development of a mathematical model for the operation of an electric pulse heater, which made it possible to develop methodological provisions for determining its mode parameters and to estimate the temperature change of its elements at random wind speed.
