Abstract

Wind power capacity has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade, thanks to wind power's environmental benefits, technological advance, and government incentives. Small wind energy which being used as a source to produce electric energy become significant nowadays. This study presents the recent developments in small wind energy conversion systems, and their social and environmental benefits. This report also provides a review of the interconnection issues of distributed resources including wind power with electric power systems. The overall studies are about the prototype of small wind converter energy. This prototype has been design with the direct current(DC) motor as a wind turbine that will produce a electricity using the concept of direct current(DC concept). The output used in this prototype are some load and a liquid crystal display(LCD). The purpose of using the LCD is to show the voltage level in the power storage and to record the increasing of the voltage level when the turbine is twisting. Futhermore, there is a support circuit design using arduino uno board, interfaced with a Grapical Unit Interface(GUI) in a computer to control a DC motor in the case of no primary source. The recorded results shows that the efficiency for the support system is between 91 percent to 94 percent. The results of this efficiency is refer to the measrement thats has gain from the results of the support systems thats has been build in this protype .
