Design, implementation, and experimental validation of a new low-cost sensorless wind turbine emulator: Applications for small-scale turbines

“…The WT installation (>100 kW) is costly and takes more than 2 years to plan and carry out. For instance, a 1.5 MW WT costs roughly $3 million, of which parts account for 68% of the price (Mahmoud et al, 2023c; Yilmaz and Dhansri, 2014). According to Blewett (2023), the average setup price for WTs < 100 kW ranges from $3000 to $8000 per kW.…”
