The alternator used in this windmill is a 2hp induction motor which I took off a Taiwanese milling machine. I took it apart, and cut a slot into the armature with a metal lathe so that I could insert 8 Neodymium rare earth magnets, thus turning the induction motor into

So for a school project, I am required to convert an AC motor to a generator. Actually, it is a table fan of diameter approximately 10-12 inches, and runs on AC power at 220V 50Hz. I want to convert it into a windmill, but I'm stuck on the power g...

Induction Motor Conversion. The motor I used was a small 1/20hp 240vac motor found at the local rubbish dump. The only problem with it was a stuffed ball bearing. I removed the windings and rewound with 0.91mm wire. ... I mounted the new alternator on a old windmill frame I use for testing. The blades were cut from PVC pipe. ...

Highlights A novel method for making small wind turbine electric generators is presented. Burnt out squirrel cage induction motors are converted to wind turbine PMG’s. The method presented does not require using dies or moulds. All the required material is low cost and easily available almost everywhere. Performance and cost analysis of two proto types have been described.

We've found that it's the same amount of work to build an efficient alternator from scratch as it is to convert an induction motor, and the home-made alternators perform MUCH better.

Jun 19, 2017 Of course a DC motor will generate a lot more power than an AC motor but a standard AC motor will usually produce a little bit of power when spun up in the wind.

Induction Generators for Direct-Drive Wind Turbines Matthew Henriksen, Bogi Bech Jensen* Center for Electric Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering Technical University of Denmark 2800 Lyngby, Denmark *Email: [email protected] Abstract—This paper considers the use of a squirrel cage induction generator for a direct-drive wind turbine.

The Induction Motor becomes a generator when it is connected to an electrical power system and then driven above its synchronous speed by some prime mover. The prime mover may be a turbine, an engine, a windmill, or anything that is capable of supplying the torque and speed needed to drive the motor

The induction motors are wound with wire that's simply too thin for generating large amounts of power. In our tests, DanB's PM induction motor conversion windmill peaks at around 25 amps in 30 mph

If the doubly fed induction generator is used with a wind turbine, it can produce power with a constant utility frequency in wind speeds from 6 mph to 50 mph. This allows the wind turbine to accept gusting winds and allows the blades to harvest the extra energy when the wind speeds are very high, which in turn improves the wind turbine

• The motor generates 3 phase 150 V AC electricity (this can easily be altered with some rewiring). • A 3 phase rectifier can be added to the motor output to make 150 V DC. • Most household electric motors (brushed motors) will run on DC quite well. • Induction motors

Treadmill motors generate DC at a voltage suitable for charging batteries. The power from the batteries can then be run through an inverter to power household lights and small loads. The system will also need a diode to prevent the batteries from running the wind turbine as a motor when there is no wind

any motor can be used as a generator and any generator will motor under the proper Circumstances. The purpose of this paper is to describe the connections required to convert the two most common types of induction motors into AC generators. The two types of motors most readily Converted are three phase Squirrel cage Induction motors

Keep in mind that the motor's current rating is for an individual phase of AC, but if you rectify the motor conversion's output, then you can get more DC current. Don't mix up the two. When rectifying the

Abstract. The application of induction generators in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) is described. The conventional induction generator, which is an induction machine with a squirrel cage rotor, had been used in large wind power plants in Europe, but has not caught much attention until now by designers of large systems in this country.

The induction motors are wound with wire that's simply too thin for generating large amounts of power. In our tests, DanB's PM induction motor conversion windmill peaks at around 25 amps in 30 mph winds, with a 7-foot diameter prop.

Just like a DC Machine, a same induction machine can be used as an induction motor as well as an induction generator, without any internal modifications.Induction generators are also called as asynchronous generators. Before starting to explain how an induction (asynchronous) generator works, I assume that you know the working principle of an induction motor.

Treadmill motors generate DC at a voltage suitable for charging batteries. The power from the batteries can then be run through an inverter to power household lights and small loads. The system will also need a diode to prevent the batteries from running the wind turbine as a motor when there is no wind and as a means of dumping any excess power.

Keep in mind that the motor's current rating is for an individual phase of AC, but if you rectify the motor conversion's output, then you can get more DC current. Don't mix up the two. When rectifying the AC, there are at least two phases providing current at any time, so overall DC current can be 73% more than the rated AC current per phase ...

In order to broaden the limited utilization range of wind power and improve the charging and discharging control performance of the storage battery in traditional small wind power generation systems, a wind power system based on a vertical-axis off-grid induction generator is proposed in this paper. The induction generator not only can run in a wide wind speed range but can also assist the ...

An induction generator or asynchronous generator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator that uses the principles of induction motors to produce electric power. Induction generators operate by mechanically turning their rotors faster than synchronous speed. A regular AC induction motor usually can be used as a generator, without any internal modifications.
