Wind Turbine Emulator with DC Motor

The proposition of this work is to develop an emulation of the rotation characteristics of a wind turbine for later analysis of static and dynamic responses of the system to. Initially, for this purpose, the emulator system was simulated in a computational environment. Next, the practical implementation was executed. In the simulated system, the actual wind turbine turbine is replaced by a DC motor operating within controlled speed and torque. A DC/DC converter was used during the simulation step to power the machine and reproduce system characteristics. During the initial studies, the horizontal turbine model with three blades was considered. The results obtained through simulations and experimental tests demonstrate the feasibility of using emulation in the proposed system.
