I was looking into using a coast down test method to calculate the mechanical friction in the driveline of a wind turbine. I know the coast down test is used probably most frequently for testing cars, which is why I posted here.
In the coast down test, is there a known method of...
Thanks itsmoked, the family of curves makes sense but would the family of curves between the no load and rated current conditions cut off at 175 rpm like the rated current lines or would they just be linear to the origin like the no load lines?
I am working on characterizing a wind turbine's alternator, specifically at lower rpms. I have the output voltage characteristics for the alternator for full load and no load conditions (see link), but I am looking to find out the output voltage for conditions between no load and full load (ie...
