“…As shown in Figure 2, the characteristics of wind turbine torque have great similarity to the characteristics of DC motor, so it can be simulated by a DC motor [5][6][7][8]. The control strategies of wind turbine emulation are power control and torque control according to the different control object of DC motor.…”

Abstract. In the laboratory without the condition of actual wind farm or wind turbine, building a wind turbine output characteristic emulation system can provide an effective way for the research on WPGS. Firstly the wind turbine torque model was built, redistributed the bladed element by weight coefficient and calculated the wind turbine torque based on the blade element theory. Then characteristics of the wind turbine were emulated by controlling the DC motor armature winding current. So the wind turbine emulator based virtual wind was built. Finally the experiment platform of VSCF WPGS was also built. The experiments not only confirms the correctness and superiority of the detailed wind turbine model, reflects the rapid tracking performance of the emulated torque, but also simulates the wind turbine to meet the research of VSCF WPGS such as the sub-synchronous or super-synchronous running of DFIG, consequently verifies the correctness of the control strategies for variable speed constant frequency WPGS.

“…Different kinds of prime movers have been used in realizing WTE. Although the WTEs with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors and Induction Motors are available, those with the DC motors are common [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The converting technologies used with the DC motor drives are AC/DC thyristor based controller [1, 5 and 8] and DC/DC chopper [2].…”

The paper presents the development of a DC motor based Wind Turbine Emulator (WTE) and its performance verification through simulation. The torque signal that represents the actual wind turbine with environmental effect was made to generate at the DC motor shaft. Particularly, the study incorporates the turbine power control strategy including the effect of stochastic and deterministic load components with the shaft dynamics. The WTE with the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) is studied to verify the effectiveness of the WTE in the presence of various wind characteristics.

“…The dynamic model of the DC shunt motor is described in Section 2. A procedure to calculate the wind turbine dynamics as torque coefficient and tip speed ratio at different wind speed is discussed in Section 3 (Ovando et al, 2007). Section 4 contains model of the wind generator connected to the DC motor and Section 5 contains converter design to control voltage and power across the load.…”

A small wind turbine simulator based on a separately excited DC motor-permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) set has been proposed to evaluate the performance of the small wind turbine model. A DC shunt motor is used to produce varying aerodynamic power by varying field current with the help of an IGBT switch. The simulator is an equivalent gearless wind turbine model that fluctuate aerodynamic power directly with wind speed. Power developed from the generator is transferred to the load through a buck-boost converter. The converter controls the output voltage in respect of higher or lower input voltage. To achieve constant voltage and transfer maximum power across the load in respect of the wind variations, a controller is designed which ensure that the instantaneous power generated by the PMSG tracks the theoretical power calculated. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.
