Steady-state optimum resistive load control for wind-driven permanent magnet alternators

Abstract: Two approaches are explored to the problem of controlling a resistive load on a wind-driven permanent magnet alternator in such a way as to maximise load power dissipation. The first shows how to establish the explicit dependence of load resistance on windspeed and/or turbine angular velocity, using mathematical models of a class recently proposed by Power.3 The second shows how to compute a curve of set-point values of tip-speed ratio versus windspeed, working from a given turbine characteristic of power coefficient versus tip-speed ratio.
