Project Description and Scope
A small-scale wind rotor tester needs to be designed and constructed for testing
rotors with a diameter up to 20 in. The system must be capable of
automated testing where the user can obtain measurements of rotor power
output as a function of wind speeds in automated tests.
Project Solution
 | Hub on generator for blade mounting with adjustable blade pitch |
| Variable wind speed |
| Data Acquisition Card (DAQ) |
| Computer program with Graphical User Interface (GUI) |
