Description
The Wind Power Application with Permanent Magnets Synchronous Generator, “AEL-WPTC”, has been designed by EDIBON to study the conversion of wind energy into electrical energy by means of a permanent magnet synchronous generator. This application allows the user to understand the structure and working of the different control, regulation and storage devices used in real wind systems.
The “AEL-WPTC” application includes a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator together with a servomotor and its control module, with the goal of studying electrical energy generation through the simulation of a real wind turbine. By using a servomotor, it is possible to study the performance of wind power generation under different wind conditions at any time regardless of weather conditions. For that purpose, the application also includes an inverter and a regulator, as control and regulating devices, a battery, as storage device,and a series of AC and DC loads, as consumption elements of the generated power.
The Control and Data Acquisition System Software for Electrical Machines, “EM-SCADA”, allows monitoring the operation mechanical parameters (torque, rotational speed) and the electrical parameters (voltage, current, powers, torque, etc.) to obtain the characteristic curves and operation points of the electrical machine under study.
Lastly, it is recommended to acquire a real small-size permanent magnets wind turbine to gain more experience in the study of the wind turbines and its operation when weather conditions are optimal.
