Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has tried it before or what are your opinions for directly connecting a variable resistor bank to the output terminals of an MPPT controller?
In this scenario it will be something like:
1. Wind Turbine Output from Rectifier to the +/- INPUT terminal of charge controller.
2. 12V battery to the +/- SENSE terminal of the charge controller.
3. Variable Resistor Bank to the +/- OUTPUT terminal of charge controller?
MPPT have data logging functions for input and output power, voltage, and current coming into and out of the charge controller.
So I was wondering if I can set an initial MPPT curve and then vary the resistance to control the voltage at the input and output power (to some degree up to the max in the initial curve).
And so I get the power output values at somewhat near constant voltages and optimize the MPPT curve from there?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
