Testing Results
Taking the measured results of Hz, speed of the blades (mph), and voltage output (VDC) required some conversions before analysis. Table 2 shows an example of results taken.
The wind speed was calculated from the Hz measurement from the turbine using the following equation taken from the calibration plot in Figure 9:
To get the power output, the measured voltages along with the resistor in the system were used to calculate the power output using the equation P=V^2/R. The following plot was created using this data.
