Wind Generator
For ITBA’s (Buenos Aires Institute of Technology) Electronic Fair, we built a test-bed of a wind generator using a cheap induction motor, demonstrating the possibility to harvest energy without the need for a lot of money. This project won two prizes and a mention in the national newspaper
This project uses a 3-phase inverter and includes voltage and current control using sinusoidal PWM and a constant V/F ratio.
