摘要

The power generation from wind energy has turned into a critical wellspring of the sustainable power generation in various nations around the world. Emulators are critical for the development and enhancement of the wind power production system in order to reproduce the static and dynamic parameters of the live wind turbine. Emulators are widely considered for testing and implementing new control strategies which is independent of availability of the wind and other environmental conditions. This report outlines how to produce a wind turbine simulator, which can be used to test system functioning under varied wind speed profiles, pitch angles, torque, and loading circumstances in both open- and closed-loop operations. The 1 kW DFIG machine with 1 kW DC motor were used throughout the planned wind turbine emulator powered by a DC chopper-driven driver module. The PWM signals for the chopper are controlled by cortex M4 ARM microcontroller and DELFINO DSP controller. The hardware test bench is programmed using Waijung software and is validated in different test conditions. The experimental results using the proposed wind emulator setup confirm the efficiency of the system through different case studies and control algorithms.
