I am building my own wind turbine and would like to build a 12 volt charge controller. Looking for any help thanks in advance.
here i hope this site help you..and also they have mini course on how to build your own wind turbine..
go green!!

This step would have been to build a microcontroller -based Charge Controller for my battery bank using a LM3S811 evaluation board that I already ...
they both charge a 12v or bank of 12v batteries? i have built my turbine but confused on what controller to use?thanks
lets start with basics
the solar power supplies DC and it is running all morning, the power it supplies not as much as the wind turbine so the controller and the power it supplies mostly constant becasue the sun changes slowly
Pulse width modulated (PWM) controlled
Compatible with 12 and 24 volt battery banks (Charging/dumping voltage setting are user settable)
Works with wind turbines, solar panels and hydro generators
I am setting up a wind turbine system that only has a 400w wind turbine. I am going to make it a tie in and will not have a battery system to save power. Do i need a charge controller or is only having the power inverter enough
yes i meant a...
Do you mean grid tie?
Inverters work with a fixed DC voltage like 12 or 24 volts. The output of your generator will be varying with wind speed, so you need something in between to adjust the voltage driving the inverter.

Transform the AC power from wind turbine by Rectifier Bridge to DC power for battery charging.
Short circuit protection or/and Dump load in high wind.
Battery Low voltage protection (optional)
i aim to charge a battery bank of 400ah,do i need a charge controller,it is a 1000watt hornet turbine.
Thanks.
You should certainly use a charge controller as the charge current is likely to be varying considerably, and you will need some mechanism that will reduce charging as the battery fills.
Not sure whether this one

meets your electrical spec. precisely, but there is not too much information around.
Considering that commercial controllers "only" cost...
i have a a wind and solar energy hybrid controller for my small 12V wind turbine, please can some one tell me do i connect inverter to this controller where it says 'output' or what?? becuase i dont know what this last 'output' plugs are for?????...
The output side is where the power comes out so that is where you'd connect the inverter.

Gone with the wind
I’ve moaned like many at our negativity away from home but have always been safe in the knowledge that at the Bearpit, it was a different story… until this season. It seems Pulis’ new thing is playing just one winger and setting up so negatively you’d think we were preparing ourselves for a match at the Camp Nou. There certainly wouldn’t be an issue with the weather there, unlike the windswept Britannia which seemingly prompted Pulis to drop Palacios, the decision was ludicrous, admitting it, even worse.
Sadly the respite of our home form is a thing of the past and it’s a case of one step forward and two back as we finally strung together some acceptable performances on the road only to see our displays at the Brit take a turn for the worse, it’s infuriating and even worse, every Stoke fan there knew how it could so easily be remedied. It was a sorry state of affairs with a fit and willing Pennant and Wilkinson kicking their heels once more on the bench and Palacios doing the same having been dropped from the squad altogether, the club even put him in a box such was their concern for his wellbeing out in the elements.
The wind Turbine Part 2: Desing and Materials
Making the parts
We started building the turbine before the trip. This way, we were able to make all the complex components (especially the blades) in a known environment with all the required tools and comfort. This was a rather good move since this spared a lot of work in Ecuador and allowed us to use tools that were not available down there (mainly power tools such as jig saws, belt sander, and of course the Dremel).
Initial GatheringIn order to start the construction, we gathered at Pièces d’Auto Jarry . Mr. Plante (the owner) was kind enough to allow us to use his tools and warehouse to build the blades and the turbine’s body. On that construction day, the students worked very hard:
