Abstract
The present study aims to determine an optimal wind turbine system with battery storage for use in developing countries. In order to utlize wind energy efficiently, we have to make the wind turbine output match with the battery load. If we could control the revolution of the turbine in proportion to wind velocity, we can realize the optimal system. However, the battery load suppresses increase of revolution because the voltage is fixed. Therfore we need to know how to determine the voltage and the capacity of the batttery. The present paper proposes a method of system design based on the computer simulation. We applied it to our Savonius-Darrieus wind turbine (1kW) and confirmed its validity by the field test (4 months).
