Parameters measured were wind speed, voltage, current, and frequency. Output power and tip speed ratio were calculated from the measured parameters. A system to automatically calculate instantaneous power and to integrate power was developed. An improved digital anemometer odometer was designed and built. Tests were performed with the windmill powering a resistive heating load as well as charging a battery.ix, 93 leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1977.B455Thesis
