Development of a Variable Loading Switch for Wind Turbines. Final Report.

摘要

The objective of this project was to design and build an electrical switch system which could sense excess power production and direct the power to an alternative load. The first attempt to design the system resulted in a faulty design because it was discovered that the phase angle of the excess power was a significant factor in the functioning of the system instead of the power output being the major factor. As a result, a new system was designed that accounted for the effects of the phase angle. This subsequent system was bench and field tested and was found to be an acceptable system.
