Problem Statement
This is a continuation project. The ongoing project
involves the design of a wind turbine energy conversion
system that can be integrated to electrical power grid in the
Coover hall power lab. It also includes a display system to
indicate the output power from the wind turbine. The
generator is rated around 400W. The wind turbine will be
installed on the roof of the Coover Hall. All the protection and
control aspects of the conversion system become part of the
design. The extension of the project includes the design
requirements to supply stand alone load in conjunction with
the grid supply. At low wind speeds the system is supplemented
by the grid source.
