Wind Turbine Energy Conversion System Design and Integration Advisor: Venkataramana Ajjarapu 2009 Project Team Elsammani Ahmed Hassan Burawi Brandon Janssen Luke Lehman Kenneth Thelen
Requirements Integrate with current team Meet grid standards Budget Supply Power Grid Safety Supply stand alone load Accessibility Display real/reactive power levels from grid/turbine Provide test-bed for additional sources
Constraints Meeting budget constraints of $250.00 Meeting grid standards Meeting safety standards Accessibility: shall be able to use testing equipments to measure outputs of wind turbine Location of different system components
Assumptions All goals of the group from last semester working on the project are accomplished Supply 200W load Grid frequency of 60 Hz Grid configuration is accessible to connect with load Turbine chosen to meet building codes, federal electrical regulations, fixed speed, etc.
