Variable speed control of a small wind turbine

An electronic controller has been developed for a wind turbine which uses a passive pitching mechanism and a permanent magnet generator. The turbine rotor is a 3 bladed, down wind horizontal axis design with a diameter of 3.4m. The machine, manufactured by Proven Engineering Ltd., produces 2.2kW at...
