Good job and well done!
What do you think of the specialized chips on the market, which are specifically designed to charge batteries and, if i remember correctly, have a PWM input somewhere?
Obviously, if you construct your own, you have more control over the charging.

I'm not an electrical engineer (but usually I can pretend enough to be on to get free samples.) I have looked at a few chips but my background isn't strong enough to glance at a datasheet and see how they might apply to wind power. But, at a glance, I usually see enough resistors, caps and sometimes coils in the example circuits that by the time you add them up I think they cost if more than the $3 for the microprocessor... that's my not-an-electrical-engineer point of view (and I do appreciate that there's a not-a-software-engineer point of view as well!)
