Take-Back-Half' Convergence Algorithm Stabilizes Microhydro Turbine Controller

Focus:

A control circuit helps microhydro control systems to operate a turbine at its constant maximum-power specific speed in the face of varying electrical loads. The circuit does this by servoing the alternator field excitation current with feedback of output voltage.

What you’ll learn:

• How to operate a microhydro turbine at its constant maximum-power specific speed under varying electrical loads
