Abstract
To maximize the efficiency of the UMass Wind Furnace I, a microprocessor based control system has been designed. The system can control blade pitch angle, yaw direction, and generator field current. The control scheme for the system is determined by the microprocessor program. Therefore, this control system can also be used to simulate various types of mechanical, electro-mechanical, electronic, and hydraulic controllers by writing an appropriate control program.
