Specifically, this study investigates the characteristics matching problems between the rotor blade and generator, and develops a generator output control system using a micro-controller. The characteristics of some available generators are tested using a generator test bench. These generators are combined with the existing rotor blades to evaluate the matching availability. The controller designed of this system uses a microchip PIC16F917 to control the core through the planning and controlling software, with the boost and buck converter module circuit, to achieve objectives of maximum power tracking, charging control and generator overload protection. The design of the controller system from the study, applying to constant voltage of 13V for providing lead-acid battery to charge and provides 12V and 5V USB-type connector for DC electricity outputs, by using experiment and implementation to test and verify feasibility. When installing the wind turbine in vehicles, the wind turbine starts generating electricity with vehicle moving, and providing battery charge ability is able to extend the endurance of electrical vehicles. The 12V electricity output can be used to electronics, while the 5V USB-type electricity output can be used for charging the cell phone, led light, and so on. These enhance the usefulness and convenience of small wind turbines to achieve the goal of green energy saving.
