CWC PCC
A DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR POWER GENERATION
This project will extend the capabilities of the current CWC PCC data collection system for micro-wind turbines. Specifically, the project will add in a more flexible load option and higher resolution acquisition for characterizing solar cells and thermoelectric generators that would be used for Energy Club outreach activities. The current system collects voltage, current, wind speed, temperature, and pressure to characterize wind turbines. See photos for existing system for characterizing wind turbines.

Original system:
The original equipment can already measure voltage, current, wind speed, temperature, and pressure, so we plan to add two subsystems to collect data from solar and thermoelectric. The purpose of making this device is to support the Energy Club outreach activities, so we take into account the issue of portability, all subsystems are detachable and modular. Our design has no critical effect but helps people’s interest in wind power augmenting. Our equipment is also recyclable or converted into a small weather observation machine.
