Device to optimize wind power generator efficiency has wind direction sensor, wind speed detector, performance detector, and computer program to improve rotor setting into wind
TLDR
In this paper, the optimum angle between rotor axis and wind direction is calculated dependent upon wind direction, wind speed, and generated power, using performance curves for different impact angles of the rotor, which are provided by constant operational measurements.Abstract:
The wind power generator has automatic rotor adjustment with precise azimuth direction angle. The optimum angle between rotor axis and wind direction is calculated dependent upon wind direction, wind speed, and generated power. Calculation incorporates performance curves for different impact angles of the rotor, which are provided by constant operational measurements.read more
