Design of Arduino-based small wind power generation system

Abstract

Wind energy is a less-attended renewable energy due to the lack of information about its potential. Some pilot wind turbines were not managed properly and built without considering to the technical feasibility. This study aims to propose a preliminary design of an Arduino-based small wind power generation system. The electricity which is generated by the wind charges the battery. It supplies power of information system which transmits the data of wind speed and wind direction from the remote location to the web server through GPRS network. The remote location which is completed with mobile data coverage is essential for this study. The results of this study are (1) the battery charging stop automatically when the battery is full (2) the data of wind speed and wind direction can be accessed through web browser or Android Smartphone. The data can be used for further analysis to determine the potential of wind energy at the site.

Electricity generation from renewable energy based on abandoned wind fan

“…A small Arduino MEGA-based wind power generation system was developed by Mubarok et al using a 3-blade wind turbine [17]. A rotating rotor blade speed, wind speed, wind direction and voltage generated by the direct current (DC) generator were measured and analyzed.…”
