Need help on wind turbine output
anhld
Registered Users Posts: 1 ✭
Dear experts,
I am making my own wind turbine (30W). I used a DC motor
which connects directly to turbine shape. The motor is 310VDC - 750rmp - 22W.
I want to connect the battery blank to turbine and use with
LED 12V.
I would like to ask for advices:
1. Do I need the wind generator controller before connect to
the battery blank since the wind generator controller is for 3-phase AC motor?
2. As the output voltage of DC motor increases with the
turbine rotation, how can I control the output voltage around 12V for charging
the battery?
Thank you,
DA

Welcome to the forum Anhld,
Questions like this are always a bit difficult to answer.... I know a fair bit about motors, but not much about use in wind turbines.
But, taking some basic information, I am not sure that this motor will work well for you.
First, a 22 Watt @ 310 Volts indicates the actual rated current it around:- 22 Watts / 310 Watts = 0.071 Amps
- 0.071 Amps * 14.75 Volts = 1.05 Watts
More or less, the output voltage varies with RPM. Yes, you can get more current at higher rpm--But you will have limits (overheating of the coils--Power = Current^2 * Resistance).
Generally, you would connect a 3 phase rectifier (6 diodes) to change it to DC output. And connect that directly to your battery bank.
And, use a dump controller that, when the battery is full, the dump controller "turns on" and generally the output goes to a power resistor to keep the battery from over charging).
