stop dc storage in wind turbine
QUESTION:stop dc storage in wind turbine
I am designing a portable wind turbine. Right now I have the rotor at
~40 rpm. I want to store the energy generated in a battery. Once the
battery is charged, the storage needs to be stopped (while the rotor is
running). I am wondering: how can i check whether the battery is
charged or not, some kind of feedback loop but I cannot figure out what
to use. Also, what how can I dispose off the power being generated once
the battery is charged completely. I would appreciate any help.
ANSWER: -Does turbine generate ac or dc? Seems like a microprocessor could PWM
the output into the battery to do 2 things... not load the generator so
much the blade stops, and not overcharge the battery.
-if you are clever and need a gear box try a 10 speed or a 21 speed bycle
the gearing is all there
hint blades go on where the pedals where "wink wink"
