Wind Energy to Power Household

The purpose of the present work is to investigate the conception and realization of an electronic card comprised of three main blocs. This card monitors and drives the power supply of a household with wind energy. The device enables the optimization and the management of this power supply as well as that off the electric network, the protection of batteries from overloading and deep discharge following voltage threshold crossings of the temperature and finally the display and transmission of the different parameters of the generated electrical power by the wind energy system. The work is based upon simulation and experimentation. Proteus Isis environment is used for simulating the whole system. Focus is put on the power sources and the battery. The load is represented as a power demand to be satisfied. Moreover, the distribution grid contributes as an appoint system. The electronic card measures the different electrical parameters, through its electrical sensors, which are used in its command blocs built around the microcontroller P1C16F876. Satisfactory experimental results were achieved which allowed deepening our expertise in the design and management of an autonomous wind energy system. On the other hand, more investigation is needed in this field, which is actually being done.
