Implementation of Arduino Board on Wind Turbine Instrumentation System Using LabVIEW

K. Joel Abhishek | I. Santi Prabha

Abstract: High quality measuring equipment ensures a successful wind measurement. Inaccurate wind measurements result in losses. Wind monitoring is essential in wind industry. As wind is intermittent in nature, continuous monitoring is needed for wind potential assessments prior to setting up a wind park when the wind park is in operation mode. In this project, development of a system to record and analyze parameters like wind speed, wind direction, pressure and temperature, humidity, lightning using LabVIEW is reported. Interfacing is done using Arduino board. Current and voltage from utility feeder are also monitored to measure power and power factor. The rotor blade is designed based on the site wind data, estimate the wind turbine generator chosen for the site, the annual energy production and levelised cost of production etc.
