Wind Turbine speed controller
« on: February 21, 2006, 10:18:14 PM »
Project = AC Generator driven by a Wind Turbine.

          Contoller required to keep AC Generator at constant speed.


I intend to build a controller using processor controls with triacs to artifically increase and decrease the load so that the speed of the generator is kept at a constant chosen speed.

Has anybody any advice or knowledge of such a device as I do not wish to reinvent the wheel if it is not necessary.

The same controller could also be used to control hydro  driven generators if the water supply was variable.
