Title: Physical modeling of wind energy conversion systems in laboratory conditions
Keywords: dSPACE platform, Physical modeling, Wind energy conversion s

Abstract: The article presents the experience of the author in the area of the physical modeling of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) with different types of electric generators and electronic converters. A small power test benches are developed in the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Sources (Electrical aspects), Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University - Sofia that give the possibility to study the processes in WECS in laboratory with small power models. Wind turbine emulators are also discussed. The wind turbine is replaced by DC motor drive with appropriate control algorithm. The application of flexible dSPACE microprocessor platform allows implementing the control of the electronic converters in the system, but it also makes possible to monitor and change the control parameters of a running system. Integration with Matlab/Simulink gives great possibility to quickly test control models. Some experimental results from created physical models of WEPS are also presented.
