SOUTHWEST WINDPOWER 06/17/2010 17 Whisper 200 Operators Manual Normal Operation--Whisper Controller 3-CMLT-1033-02 REV C 12. BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THE WHISPER CONTROLLER 1. Normal Operation ­ Whisper Controller Overview The Whisper Controller is a one or two part system specifically designed to control the operation and convert the power of a Southwest Windpower Whisper 100 or 200. Its basic functions are rectification, regulation, and resistive power dumping. However, to best accommodate many individual customers, the Whisper Controller offers many features and adjustable operation parameters. The main Whisper Controller block (hereafter the "Controller") is a functionally autonomous unit. The Controller contains all of the Whisper turbine's power electronics including rectification and load diversion. Additionally, it continuously monitors voltage, current, energy production, and wind speed (if equipped). These parameters are measured to ascertain system parameters (i. e. battery voltage) and turbine state (i. e. The auxiliary Whisper Controller Display block (hereafter the "Display") offers an interface to the many operational parameters and system measurements of which the Controller is capable. It can be mounted at the Controller or in a remote location or (with two Displays) both places. From the Display, instant and easy access is gained to voltage, current, power, energy, charge, peak power, and wind speed. Battery Turbine Remote Display Whisper Controller with Display 2. Normal Operation ­ Whisper Controller The Whisper Controller provides all of the necessary functions and displays for safe and productive turbine operation. It includes interface features for setting the regulation voltage, monitoring the state of the system, and manually disabling battery charging. The interface mechanisms of the Whisper Controller are the LED Display, the Diversion Switch, and the Regulation Adjustment. 3. Diversion Switch The diversion switch is located on the top of the controller to the left of the LEDs. This switch will divert turbine power to the dumpload to keep the batteries from being charged.
