different conditions
● Calculate expected power under
various conditions
Wind block diagram
Wind Design●Anemometer
●Coupled motor and generator
●Rectifier
●Microcontrollers
Generator/Motor and Drive
Rectifier
Anemometer
Current Wind Design● Boost Converter
● Inverter
● Batteries/Load
Boost Converter Wind System
Challenge: Identifying Solar Output● Problems with measuring total output current of panels
● Difficulties with using previous measurement system
Measurement system with analog inputs
Challenge: Finding Parameters of Components● Powering the MPPT, power regulation
● Inverter installation and testing
● Modeling rectifier and boost converter
● Obtaining motor and generator parameters
Challenge: Coupling Motor and Generator● Needed better fit, stability
● Designed in Inventor
Inventor designPrevious coupling mount
New coupling mount
Challenge: Design of Wind Components and Enclosures● Size constraints
● Reliable interconnections
New Enclosures
Challenge: Combining Wind and Solar● Connecting solar generation to inverter
● Unable to connect wind to inverter
