This study presents an Optimized Wind Turbine Emulator (OWTE) based on a DC generator driven by a three-phase Induction Motor (IM). The IM speed is varied using an AC drive that converts fixed RMS voltage and frequency to variable ones due to v/f control. The frequency reference of the control was calculated through optimized equations of a wind turbine model for maximum power and torque. The overall system was simulated on Matlab/Simulink using a wind speed profile scenario. An experimental test bench controlled by a TMS320F28379D card was set up in the laboratory to confirm the effectiveness of the obtained simulation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
