  16. Induction vs. Generator Power

  17. Battery Charging System - Overview • Store the power output from wind turbine • Charge controller to choose right storage according to power output from the turbine • Charging controller to maximize charging efficiency and protect the battery and circuit • 3 charging methods • Below 13.5V : Charge 6V lead-acid battery • From 13.5V to 15.1V : Charge 12V lead-acid battery • Over 15.1V : Go to dummy load

  18. Battery Charging System – Storage • Battery Selection • 6V lead-acid battery from Power-Series : 7.0Ah • 12V lead-acid battery from Power-Series : 8.0Ah • Required Charging Current Calculation • 6V lead-acid battery : 7.0Ah / 10Hr battery charging time = 0.7 A required : 8.0Ah / 10Hr battery charging time = 0.8 A required

  19. Battery Charging System – 1st Design • 1st Design • Charge 12V lead-acid battery • Use LM 317 voltage regulator • Assume rectified DC Voltage Input to the regulator • Reasons for Design Failure • Lower power output than we expected • Minimum 18V required for LM 317 • Need to modify the circuit for charging 6V battery • Varying DC power output from wind turbine • Potentiometer

  20. Battery Charging System – 1st Design Schematics

  21. Battery Charging System – 2nd Design • 2nd Design • Multiple charging options • Use LTC 1042 monolithic CMOS window comparator • Assume rectified DC Voltage from the DC generator • Reason of Design Failure • Sudden change of turbine motor • Results change in power output • Testing

  22. Battery Charging System – 2nd Design Schematics

  23. Tachometer • Built in contactless tachometer • RPM = revolutions per minute • Design requirements: • 5% margin of error vslaser tachometer reading • LCD display • Controls braking system • Additional features: • Average RPM with user reset

  24. Reference1 Original Schematic

  25. Early Design Approach • RPM = • Reduce variables • Circuit Requirements • Accurate time detection • Accurate revolution detection • Large number division • TTL? • Solution = embedded systems  microcontroller

  26. PIC16F877A • 8 bit , 256 bytes EEPROM peripheral interface controller • MPLAB IDE / CCS compiler • Up to 20 MHz external CLK • Useful functions • CCP (capture and compare) • 3 timers (scalable) • Interrupt friendly

  27. Timer1 • 16 bit register • Time = (# of counts)x(frequency of counts) • Time = 2^16 x increment frequency • setup_timer_1(T1_EXTERNAL | T1_DIV_BY_8); • Timer 1 increment frequency = 500 khz • Overflow • #int_timer1 : of_count = of_count + 1; • Extend timer1 by 16 bits • Total Time = [2^16x (overflow count) + (Timer1 count )] x increment freq • Time for overflow ~ .131 seconds

  28. CCP1 and RPM equations • Capture Timer 1 on interrupt from pin17 • current_ccp = CCP_1; • setup_ccp1(CCP_CAPTURE_RE); // rising edge triggered • Allows us to measure time between interrupts • Sets sensor requirement: 1 low to high transition per revolution • RPM = 1/[(2^16 x overflow count + captured timer1 count)/60] • AVGRPM = (((x*AVGRPM) +RPM)/(x+1)); x = x+1; • User push button  interrupt  reset x • CCP guide *(reference 3)

  29. LCD 16x2 • LCM –SO SO1602D SR/A LUMEX (testing LCD) • HD 44780 controller LCD front panel • Parallel: 4 data inputs / 2 control lines from pic • Modified Flex_LCD driver *(reference 2) • 500 ms delay • Example print format: printf(lcd_putc,"\fRPM: %f\n",RPM); printf(lcd_putc,"AVG: %f\n",AVGRPM);

  30. Braking System • Old braking system: mechanical friction based • Maximum RPM set in code • When tachometer calculates RPM >= Maximum RPM: • Power mosfet IRL 520 is turned on, LED lights up • Generator terminals shorted • RPM decreases, held in brake mode for 3 seconds • RPM is cleared, brake is removed • Recheck RPM • Reapply brake or do nothing

  31. Tachometer Schematic

  32. Tachometer Fabrication and Testing • Modular approach • LCD constant  LCD variable  CCP  Timer1  RPM (fxn generator)  AVG RPM (fxn generator)  sensor  RPM and AVG RPM (sensor) = Final Product • LCD output test variables vs assembly debug • Over 11 code versions / 35 word pages of debugging procedures • Debugging procedure and documentation: • Problem/Symptom? Identify associated variables • Output to LCD + check • Solution? Modify code / recheck

  33. Sensor Design and Testing • Old design: reed relays • New design: optical sensor • TX / RX pair RX high impedance 1.5 M Ω • From testing: no voltage change (reflective tape) point TX directly at RX .04v voltage change • Use 110 lab optical sensor: OPB607a • Measurements 2mm away • Vambient: 4.63v Vblacktape: 4.81v Vreflectivetape: .84 • PIC: detects high / low / high transition without debouncing

  34. Key Breakthroughs Debugging • LCD variable output: simple counter with 2 variables • Symptom: counter would stop or reset, shifting breadboard • Possible causes: loose pin connections, bad hardware, bad code

  35. Additional Breakthrough Debugging • AVG RPM function (with fxn generator) • AVG RPM = # of revolutions / [total elapsed time / 60s] • Symptom: AVG RPM not displaying correct value - display interrupt count (# of revolutions) and time count increments - set fxn generator to 1 hz (frequency of interrupt) - interrupt count fine , timer count is incrementing too slowly - possible cause : total time elapsed counter or algorithm issue - check code  problem: every CCP interrupt resets timer1, total time is innacurate • Solution: AVGRPM = (((x*AVGRPM) +RPM)/(x+1)); x = x+1; • X will be reset by user push button

  36. Testing and Results • Finished RPM detection Circuit (fxn generator input) • RPM = Frequency x 60

  37. Testing and Results • Final product testing:

  38. Braking System Test • Maximum RPM set in code • Demo : 3000 rpm • Test: Max RPM set to 100 • Source drain impedance switch off (20.18 Ω) • Source drain impedance switch on (.17 Ω) • Drive voltage increased till >100 RPM, LCD display 98 RPM • Brake applied for 3 seconds, RPM drop to 31, led on • Brake disengaged and re-engaged when drive voltage held constant

  39. Limitations and improvements • Generator • Coupling System • Solenoid System • Power Conversion • Charging Circuit
