Abstract :
A wind turbine simulator for wind energy conversion systems is developed with a view to design, evaluate and implement an actual wind turbine controller. The simulator consists of a 125 hp induction motor which drives a low speed generator and is driven by a 112 kW variable speed drive inverter, and real time control software
