“…The development of wind turbine emulators has been discussed through laboratory setups that are under controlled environments and under conveniently controlled electrical setups in various literature [15], [8], [16], [17], [18]. In other related literature, wind speed was programmed based on historical wind speed data, based on a manual set up and/or based on the Van der Hoven spectrum [19], [20].…”

“…The rated turbine speed is calculated using (8) where λ opt = 8.1 is the tip speed ratio at which optimum C p is obtained. w t = (λ opt * V wrated )/R=142.173 rad/sec (8) The output power of the turbine for varying wind speeds for the above calculated parameters is shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Also, large number of repetitive experiments could be carried out in a controlled and safe environment. Wind turbine emulators of various configurations, ratings and complexities have been implemented in literature [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]. However, the effectiveness, fidelity and response of such emulators could still be improved using a real time digital simulator (RTDS) based wind turbine emulator and with the help of advanced technical analysis methods.…”

This paper presents the development of a fixed speed wind turbine emulator using the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). The wind turbine emulator consists of a wind turbine modeled in an RSCAD software environment. The software model for the wind turbine generates appropriate torque signals based on wind speed profiles using auto-regressive moving average and perturbation methods. These torque signals were fed to a servo motor emulating the wind turbine and were connected to an induction machine that emulated the generator. The response of the emulator shows that it closely matches the performance of the software model under various wind speed profiles. Thus, it can be used as an effective research and experimental tool in several wind energy based renewable energy projects. Keywords--wind turbine emulator (WTE), real time simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), perturbation theoryI.

“…Such a simulator has a closed-loop structure allowing the interconnection of software and hardware parts. This presents a powerful combination due to the flexibility given by the numerical models and control structures and the possibility of realistically simulating phenomena due to the presence of the physical part [1]. In the last years such simulators have been extensively used for testing control structures effectiveness in automotive applications, in wind turbines and other renewable energy converters, and electrical equipment behavior under controlled conditions [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].…”

In this paper a power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) structure for testing algorithms for the management of power flows in all-electric vehicles is presented. Its complex structure, comprising both real-time simulators and control structures, covers the entire electromechanical power chain. It is based upon real-time platforms (DSPACE and RT-LAB) interacting with dedicated hardware equipments, thus enabling the replication of driving conditions and driver actions, as well as power sources emulation and DC-link control. Successful real-time tests that validate control algorithms for electrical power flow sharing in a complex all-electrical vehicle have been performed on this platform.
