PC-Based Wind Turbine Measurements

08/17/2009 5:07 AM

Dear Mister

have somebody one concrete solution to can take the different mesures from my test turbine at a pc ,if it's possible I will find the middle to memorised

1) the rpm from the turbine

2)the wind velocity in M/sec

3) the power in volt

4) the ampère

5) or only the power in watt

I know it's a big challenge ,but I'm sure that somebody have certainly the acquaintance to help me

The real challenge is not in getting the PC to record the measurements. The real challenge is selecting the appropriate sensors and then a system for converting the sensor data from analog to digital so the computer can read it. Usually, once you have this part of the system correct, you already have the software on your computer to do the recording...

The array of sensors you have shown need only an INTERFACE between them and the PC.

The interface can be an 8-channel or 16 channel set of PCB cards plugged/monted in parallel with an 8-bit CPU on a back plane having a serial port to be connected to the PC serial port. You can load a software such as MATLAB on your PC and configure the whole system for individualised channel monitoring frequency and build up a real-time data file for use by any analytical/graphs/display software such as Excel.

Hope this helps for a start. HOWEVER , you'll need to fine tune the system as a whole for optimal performance, aided by "Professional" Technician help to minimise cost and time for implementation.

dear Mister d.Ramakrishna Naidu.

I have find the link above ,do you think that's one solution for my problem, you have see that I have no formation in informatic

thank you

best regards

Dear Mr.Haegeman,

Yes, as it appears, Sensyr can take up and complete your requirements. However, you will need to prepare and send them a proper technical specification of your requirement.

Please let me know your location, so that I may be able to help you draw up the exact Technical specification and prepare a List of Parts required to obtain a complete system to meet your requirements.

As I have been invited to present a paper at an international forum in Stockholm, Sweden, I could route my tour via your location.

Regards,

Dr.D.Ramakrishna Naidu

P.S.

Please visit www.artecrobotics.com to know about me and my company.

dear doctor.

I'm leaving in Belgium ,I'm a mechanician and I try to developpe one verticale cycloidale wind turbine the test model ave five blades , It's maybe utopian but I will try to make a wind turbine capable to extract the power out the wind by lowspeed wind ,I know in the low speed wind it's no much power but it's many hours low wind in a year, and to make the difference each time that I make a transformation it's important that I can make the difference between a bad and good change .

for the moment I have just a wind speed capable to work with a PC .

but if you have the solution to find all wath I need, capble to work with the PC

give me wath I must find than you can make the connection to PC

excuse my english he is limited

Hi haegeman,

We can take this infomation into a PC for you to analyse but firstly what instrumentation do you presently have installed which is providing you with each output data. What form of output do you currently have and what is the range/scale of each output?

dear mister .

for the moment I have just a wind speed meter connected to the PC ,all the other messure is not compatible with PC , I have no formation in informatic ,and I will find somebody who say me all that I must buy.

I know it's difficult for you

but for me it's indispensable to progress with the test
