My project!

Submitted by Guest on Thu, 19/05/2011 - 18:59

 Hello everyone!

I'm trying to set up a 'total energy management system' for a wind turbine. I looking to interface a adrunio energy monitor with a wifi weather station with the wind turbine.

My one remaining problem is looking for a hardware disconnect switch for my turbine that can be controlled by software. Does anyone have any ideas towards this?

Thanks for your time,

Luke

Without knowing more about what type of wind turbine you have its difficult to give advice. Maybe a big relay? Have you got some sort of dump load? There is a bit of wind turbine monitoring documentation on OpenEnergyMonitor. There is information on DC monitoring and wind speed monitoring. Scroll down to the bottom of the input module page:
