Contents

Mozda & Rashron

  • Mozda: Mozda collective's website
  • Mozda Windmill page: contains all files about windmill projects. e.g. schematic of the electrical system( very useful!) and presentation full of pics on the various renewable energy R&D in India. Covers Mozda, Bilgaon, ARTI and others.
  • Rashron: maker of pedal power bikes & electric assist kits in India.

Human Torque speed curve

Amazing website which contains Torque Speed curve for bicycle riders!

Axial Flux Generators

UIUC Converter Design

Appendix has all the circuits & schematics, is thus most important document for study.

  • Datasheets

for main powerelectronics: Mosfet, MR752 diode, Schottky diode, T106-26 Toroidal Inductor, fuses ABC-6 & ABC-15, for PWM control components: TL598 PWM controller, MIC4427 MosFET driver, TL431 shunt regulator

  • Modeling

Pspice models of power electronic components from various vendors! (thanks to Abhijit!) , and Fairchild Power Mosfet libraries this and this. Other Mosfets available with International Rectifiers

Tim Nolan's design

  • Tim Nolan, an electronics hobbyist, has designed a custom MPPT controller. (Maximum Power Tracking Controller) Though built for low voltages right now, can be modified for increased voltage. It is very cheap yet sophisticated, and can boost solar array power by 30% Michael say, it should cost around 50$
  • redrok.com Electronic Projects: The other site that Michael wrote about in his most recent e-mail. It has descriptions and links to various electronic circuits and many of which are applicable to power generation. Th peak power tracker project suggests a very simple circuit to do MPPT, and my turn out to be cheaper than Nolan's circuit.
  • A good survey of MPPT patents.

Other converters

  • Outback converter MX60 superb 98% efficiencies, 150VDC max input voltage,variable stepdown capability. Its data sheet is here. It has way too many features, hence is costly.
  • Other commercial charge controllers apart from Outback. link It also explains what is MPPT. Maximum Power point tracking.
  • Blue Sky MPPT charge controller. a cheaper 200$ controller.
