This project aims to build a wind turbine simulator consisting of two small DC machines coupled together and the associated power electronics and control circuitry. The first DC machine acts a motor which produces an output torque versus speed characteristic which simulates the mechanical output of a wind turbine. For a fixed wind speed, under no-load conditions the DC motor will operate at the no-load speed of the wind turbine it is simulating. As the load torque on the wind turbine is increased, the DC motor reduces its speed until it reaches the turbine stall torque at zero speed. The second DC machine acts a generator which simulates the electric generator connected to a wind turbine. This generator is controlled to try to maximize the electrical power output for a given wind speed.
Project scope
The wind turbine simulator project includes design, simulating, constructing and testing of a wind turbine power generation system. The system is constructed by two pats, a wind turbine simulator and a maximum power point tracking system. Each part consists of a DC motor and some power electronic control.
