| Abstract | ||
| This paper introduces new wind turbine simulator using Ac series motor (universal motor) to simulate the actual wind turbine in the steady-state mode of operation. Mathematical analysis of proposed model is introduced to compute the performance characteristics at a given wind velocities. The proposed analysis of Ac series motor after applying the control, makes the motor characteristics coincides with the characteristics of the wind turbine in the steady-state mode of operation. Three methods of controlling the ac series motor to simulate the wind turbine are presented for realistic simulation of variable characteristics of wind turbine. The steady state results are highly consistent with theoretical curve, indicating that ac series motor is a new simple, cheap and an excellent method for simulating characteristics of wind turbine. | ||
