Abstract :
Non-grid-connected wind power theory, which is defined as the optimized integration of grid-connected and stand-alone wind power generation forms, avoids the technical issue of integrating wind power into utilities, and creates a new solution to wind power generation. In order to describe the characteristic of the non-grid-connected wind power generation, this paper discusses a kind of power control strategy that suits the large-scale, non-grid-connected wind power system with electrochemistry loads. Then, with the help of LABVIEW, an experimental and testing platform is designed to meet the special requirement of the fixed-pitch wind turbine and high-energy -consuming simulated loads. The results of wind tunnel experiments verify the feasibility of the presented system and control strategy.
