Hi all
I'm designing a new student project and I want to link it to renewable energy.
I am thinking a wind Generator controller , I'm no expert in wind generators , but it's just a project with a bit of an interesting practical theme.
Inputs
Anemometer - Analog wind speed
Generator Temp - Analog generator Temperature
Wind Direction - Analog wind direction.
Yaw - analog yaw position of generator
Outputs
Yaw drive - position control of generator
My rough ideas for the project
Start up and shutdown procedure.
The students control the yaw postion of the generator in relation to the wind ditrection.(postion control)
If the wind speed is too high for a certain period , we can then drive the generator to a 90deg postion to the wind direction ?
If the generator overheats we have a shutdown procedure.
Am I on the right track ?
Any other renewble energy ideas ?
I have a postion control setup that I can use to simulate the yaw postion , so they can see it in action , not an actual wind generator , but it will do.
