Is a voltage regulastor a voltage controller?

I am asking in regard to a wind turbine to charge storage batteries which I do already with solar panels but thinking of adding a wind turbine(generator) but all the installation paper work refers to a 'voltage controller'. Is a voltage controller in fact a voltage regulator or what is the difference if any? The turbine is 550 watts and 12 volt if that helps... thanks for any advice...

Update:

Sorry, I meant a voltage regulator and asking not what it does but if it is the same as a voltage controller as spoken about in regards to wind turbines.

I already make up to 35 amps per hour by solar and a 550 watt wind generator will potentially make another 45 amps/hour but realistically I think along the lines of 20 amps/hour so I am not asking about trickle charging. ONLY about if a voltage regulator and a voltage controller are the same items.

    The voltage regulator is there to stop over charging the battery. If too much current goes in, the battery voltage goes up and the device reduces the excitation of the alternator. If the max output of a solar panel is 4 amperes and the battery is 400 amp/hours capacity you would hardly need a regulator. That would be a trickle charge and can be left on indefinitely. Over charging causes the water in the battery to break down into Hydrogen and Oxygen and you need to replace it with distilled water, ot tap water.
