Abstract


This study introduces a real-time sensorless Wind Turbine Emulator (WTE) platform designed to evaluate different wind energy conversion technologies and enhance research on wind power generation in a laboratory environment. The WTE calculations are executed using a PC connected to a Dspace control board and can effectively replicate the dynamic torque produced using an actual turbine. The emulation is achieved by controlling the armature current of a DC motor through a Single Input Fuzzy Logic Controller and an IGBT DC/DC Boost converter. A supervision interface was also developed with ControlDesk software to allow real-time control and data acquisition. Furthermore, this research paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the wind turbine modeling, theoretical analyses, operational principles, and experimental test results that confirm the viability and efficiency of this approach.
