Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: sensing a wind speed using an anemometer and registering a reading as a signal; converting the signal to a compatible signal using a converter; a rotor sensor module for determining a speed or rotation of a turbine or alternator rotor; comparing a data from the rotor sensor module to a preset database value using a control logic module to produce a data from the control logic module; receiving and processing a compatible signal by the control logic module which makes a decision based on the wind speed signal along with the rotor sensor signal and preset database value whether to produce a power pulse or not to reduce a starting torque for a rotor; producing a power pulse to be sent to an alternator rotor turbine by using a logical decision using a processor; by combining the data from the control logic module, a data from a motion logic analyzer and the preset database value only if the rotor is stationary or not moving at a low wind speed compared to the preset database value, wherein the preset database value consists of user-defined values for a wind speed, wind direction, rotor rpm, starting torque for an alternator rotor or turbine, rotor speed; user defined preset value frequency, pulse width and corresponding voltage, wherein a value for the wind speed data between 0.1 to 200 miles per hour, wherein a value for the starting torque alternator rotor or turbine between 0.1 to 200 Newton-meter, wherein the motion logic analyzer converts a voltage or pulses from the rotor sensor and converts that to a speed of the turbine and/or alternator rotor in a compatible format for the torque control logic.
