Project Summary

This final year project ‘Electrical Power Controller for Wind Turbine’ will include designing and hardware implementation of controller-based Push-Pull converter. The core point is that Wind turbine produces different voltages at different wind speeds. For this purpose, the micro-controller will receive input from the turbine generator/wind speeds/rotor speeds to control the PWM duty cycle of the Push-Pull converter. When Wind Turbine produces low voltages at low wind speeds, then the Push-Pull converter will work in Boost-Mode for increasing the voltages to nominal required rating voltages 12/24V. In Similar way, when wind speeds are higher which results in producing high voltages at output, then Push-Pull converter will work in Buck-Mode to decrease the voltages to nominal required rating voltages 12/24V. Fast/Slow charging will be carried out based upon the temperature of battery, so that maximum power can be utilized and charge batteries. This electrical controller will be designed for 1000W, and it will utilize maximum power out of wind turbine.
