Data Acquisition Tidbits

This is where I'm going to put interesting pieces of information I have acquired from my data acquisition systems.  Some of them relate directly to a turbine, while others do not.

Battery Voltage Power Curves - This page will show you the effect of battery voltage on the power curve.

5 Seconds - This page shows the instantaneous effect of the EZ-Wire dump load and the turbine output over 5 seconds.

Whisper 80 graphs - This page shows the wind speed distribution, power curve, and RPM graphs.

Whisper H40 graphs - This page shows the rpm, power curve, and TSR graphs for the Whisper H40.

42 and 84 foot comparisons - This page shows the difference in wind speeds at two different heights.

High Winds - This shows the second by second data for the high winds I recorded for the Whisper H40.

Home Power article - I wrote an article that was published in HP #62 about wind speed monitoring. (506kB, PDF format)
