Abstract
Modified tractor alternator was designed and
constructed to suit a 300 W low speed high altitude wind
turbine. The tractor alternator did not produce the required
power output design speed of the turbine. A modification was
thus required and this paper describes the redesign and
construction techniques. The analysis is focused on the
design aspects, topologies, modeling, and testing of the
alternator. The final results were still not up to expectation,
but nevertheless, some promising results were obtained and
some of them are discussed.
