An Arduino - based Power Management Controller with Cloud - based Monitoring Scheme for Wind Turbine Generator tied to Utility AC Grid

This paper proposes a wind power generation and management system with a scheme of cloud-based monitoring. The all - in function of the designed prototype is to manage and monitor the components such as voltages, current, and power that supplies the battery (BESS). The generated voltage from the wind turbine passes through a relay switch, which is controlled by the Arduino GizDuino IOT 644 microcontroller module, and it traverses through DC/DC power converter for voltage regulation. In effect, the arduino microcontroller provides a decision whether it will charge the battery energy storage system or not depending on the sensed voltage output of the source that will charge the battery. In addition, it sends data to cloud for parameter measurements. The all over strategy of the designed control scheme provides the system with improved and better dynamic performance.
