| Abstract |
In this paper, a wind turbine simulator is developed
using PSCAD. The wind turbine static characteristics are
modeled using the relation among the turbine power, the wind
speed, and the blade pitch angle. Also, the dynamic characteristics
of the wind turbine are modeled through a two-mass oscillating
system, representing the turbine and the generator connected by
elastic shaft. The system considered is designed to show the effects
of the tower shadow effect and blades asymmetry. Torsional
oscillation effect on the drive train is also considered. A pitch
angle controller is used to limit the turbine output power to the
rated value to protect the coupled generator. Simulation
results are presented to verify the wind turbine simulator
performance. |
