Wind Microturbine with Adjustable Blade Pitch Angle

The article presents the results of research on operation a wind microturbine model with an adjustable blade pitch angle. physical basics turbine and methods its optimal control are discussed. measurements carried out for selected geometry possibility adjusting angle presented. tests were resistive load linear characteristic non-linear Li-Po battery. simple MPPT algorithm practical controlling larger turbines not small very turbines. conducted focused determining using blades setting, depending rotational speed in microturbines. use mechanism changing can increase efficiency wider range speeds.
