Wind Turbine Brake Controller
Overview
This page provides an overview of the wind turbine brake controller. The controller is designed to ensure safe and efficient operation of wind turbines by automatically engaging brakes during high winds or other critical conditions.
Key Features
- Automated brake engagement based on voltage
- Real-time monitoring and adjustment of braking force
- Real-time monitoring of voltage and amperage
- Bluetooth gatt server displays current and historical voltage and amperage
- F-RAM based storage memory for historical high values of voltage and amperage
Technology Used
The wind turbine brake controller utilizes advanced electronics and software algorithms to ensure precise control over the braking process. Key technologies include:
- ATTINY3226-based system for real-time data processing
- ESP32-H3 for Bluetooth connectivity
- Voltage divider based voltage monitoring
- ACS772 Amperage sensor for determing maximum and current amperage
