Wind Energy Coefficient of Performance Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Measure Wind Coefficient of Performance with Arduino Uno Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform a homemade anemometer and a miniature wind generator into a precision measurement lab. By mounting the A3144 Hall sensor on the rotating shaft and wiring the INA219 to the generator’s output, you’ll log real-time wind speed, voltage, current, and power—then compute the coefficient of performance to understand how efficiently mechanical wind energy becomes electricity. This kit is designed for engineering undergraduates and physics researchers who need repeatable, logged data for project reports or competition entries like Smart India Hackathon.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a portable wind energy test station with an Arduino Uno at its core. A spinning anemometer sends Hall effect pulses to measure RPM and derive wind speed. Simultaneously, the INA219 current sensor captures the generator’s output; the Arduino calculates instantaneous power and Cp, displaying it on the OLED in real time. All data points are timestamped with the DS3231 RTC and saved to a microSD card for later analysis in Excel or MATLAB.
What You'll Learn
- Convert Hall sensor pulses into calibrated wind speed readings
- Interface INA219 over I2C for high-side voltage and current monitoring
- Log timestamped sensor data to an SD card using the DS3231 real-time clock
- Drive a 0.96-inch OLED display to show live metrics and diagnostics

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling renewable energy projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping wind efficiency monitors, and ATL Tinkering Lab advanced learners who are ready to move beyond basic circuits. Also fits university researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS needing a reproducible data-acquisition rig for Cp measurement experiments.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We’ve spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to open the AI companion, which has been fine-tuned on this exact circuit and code. You can also message us on WhatsApp for human troubleshooting.
Can this kit measure actual wind turbine efficiency outdoors?
Yes, the anemometer and generator can be placed in a real wind stream. The logging system captures wind speed and electrical output simultaneously, allowing Cp calculation across varying conditions.
How accurate are the measurements?
The INA219 provides ±0.5% current sensing accuracy, and the Hall sensor RPM counter can be calibrated to wind speed within 2-3% using the included calibration routine in the companion code.
Do I need prior Arduino or soldering experience?
Basic Arduino familiarity is recommended as this is an advanced build. The soldering iron is included because you’ll need to solder the Hall sensor leads and power connections onto the prototype board.
Hall sensor on anemometer + INA219 on mini generator measure wind power conversion efficiency vs speed.
