Abstract

In this paper, the design and implementation of a wind turbine emulator bank is proposed. The bank takes into account the dynamics of the extraction of effective wind energy. This dynamic is modelled mathematically. The DC motor emulates the rotary movement due to wind energy, generating the angular velocity profiles according to the torque measured by a torque meter on the coupling shaft between the DC motor and the permanent magnet synchronous generator. Additionally, the paper presents a test experiment that consists of a controlled boost converter to which a maximum power extraction algorithm is applied in order to validate the operation of the DC motor-permanent magnet synchronous generator bank.
