Westinghouse has fully implemented its digital control system with the exception of the coordinate transformation function. The 500 HP test program at Westinghouse PEDS has successfully concluded and the equipment has been returned to Westinghouse AESD for modifications. NASA and Westinghouse have jointly established the control modes for the MOD-0 test program. The test window available is the period 2/1/85 through 6/1/85. NASA and Westinghouse personnel have conducted two interface meetings to date with a third meeting scheduled in early December. The interfaces identified to date are straightforward. Westinghouse is modifying the control system software to provide a test operator friendly system. The goal, which is driven by funding constraints is to have NASA personnel capable of continuing test operations without Westinghouse on site after the five weeks of Westinghouse test time have been exhausted. Once the MOD-0 wind turbine has been modified to include the Westinghouse variable speed system and the system is operational, a demonstration will be conducted.
