Abstract :
An experimental setup is developed to emulate a wind turbine-generator system. The configuration of the wind energy conversion system is elaborated using OPAL-RT real-time simulator and electrical modules from Lab-Volt. In order to operate such system, a control scheme is designed for the generator side and grid side converters. The experiment can be reconfigured for conducting research and teaching various control concepts to both undergraduate and graduate students in wind energy systems.
