Hardware In The Loop Real-Time Implementation Of Small Wind Turbine Emulator Using Dspace 1104 Board

In this paper, we design and implement a small-scale wind turbine emulator using the hardware in the loop (HIL) technique. The experiment platform is developed to accurately replace a real wind turbine. This platform is composed mainly of a DC motor controlled by a buck converter. The DSpace 1104 board is used to implement the real-time control programmed in SIMULINK. The proposed wind turbine emulator is tested under different wind speeds and load profiles. Experimental results are presented to validate the performance and effectiveness of the wind turbine emulator.
