| Abstract | ||
| This paper presents a new simulator using a dc motor drive to simulate the characteristics of a vertical-axis wind turbine in steady-state operation. The drive system consists of a separately excited dc motor fed via a thyristor converter. This drive is controlled by its Artificial Neural Network (ANN) inverse model using the wind turbine model as a reference. The controller is implemented by a LabView software program which provides a great flexibility and gives the possibility to simulate any wind turbine characteristics. The proposed simulator is tested for both dynamic and steady state modes at different wind velocities and loads. It is shown that the steady-state characteristics of the proposed simulator follow, satisfactorily, those of the actual wind turbine. | ||
