    – This paper presents Wind Power Generation System using Diode Bridge Rectifier (WPGS-DBR method). Experimental results have been obtained by Wind Turbine Simulator (WTS). The WTS emulates wind turbine behavior using a servo motor as a drive system. Mechanical torque references used to drive the motor are calculated using wind turbine data such as wing blade, wind velocity, and wind turbine rotation speed. DBR method has three-mode control for three ranges of wind speed: low, medium, and high, respectively. In low and medium mode, the control system adjusts the armature current of a generator and DC link voltage with a Vector-Controlled Inverter (VCI) to control wind turbine speed. In high mode, the control system modulates the pitch angle of the wind turbine using a pitch angle control system for controlling wind turbine rotational speed. The DBR simplifies the maintenance of WPGS while improving reliability. In addition, the DBR method costs less compared with the WPGS using a PWM converter.

    This paper proposes the emulation technique for wind turbines using two types of motor, servo motor, and induction motor. The focus is on simulating the work process of wind turbines at multi-wind velocity to test the capacity and efficiency of generating three-phase electricity. The wind turbine emulator was created by using a program and mechanical parts. The goal of this emulator is to check the efficiency of wind turbine blades at different wind speeds and to test the accuracy of the simulation method by using a different motor. The first emulator uses a 400-Watt synchronous generator from a wind turbine connected to a 400-Watt servo motor controlled by a servo amplifier. The second emulator uses a 400-Watt synchronous generator from a similar wind turbine connected to a 400-watt induction motor installed with an encoder controlled by an inverter. Motor torque is calculated by using mathematic equations from the LabVIEW program, and the data of the wind turbine blade is simulated by using the ANSYS program.

    This paper proposes the wind turbine emulator for wind power generation systems. The focus is on simulation of the operation of wind turbines at different wind speeds to test the capacity and efficiency of generating three-phase electricity. The wind turbine emulator consists of a simulation program and a mechanical part. To simulate the power generation system of wind turbines, researchers use a 400-watt permanent magnet synchronous generator wind turbine connected to a 400-watt servo motor with a built-in absolute encoder and controlled by a servo driver. The motor's torque is controlled by data from mathematical equations in the MATLAB model.

    Resistive-Sensor Interfacing Circuit for Remote Measurement Using CFOA
    (2024-01-01) ; ; ;
    Kaewpoonsuk, Anucha
    An alternative approach to implementing an interfacing circuit for resistive sensor-based remote measurement is presented. The proposed technique uses a Current Feedback Operational Amplifier (CFOA) as an active building block to produce an output voltage linearly related to the resistance of the sensor. Moreover, the accuracy of the output voltage is improved by the enhancement of CFOA. In addition, the proposed circuit provides compensation for the effects of lead-wire resistance. The performance of the proposed technique is discussed in detail and confirmed by PSPICE program simulation and experimental implementation. The resistance decade box is used in the experiment. The maximum error on the output voltage of the experimental results is about 0.4234 %. The experimental results show that the proposed technique provides good performance.

    This paper proposes a wind turbine emulator (WTE) based on the blade momentum theory, and tests the variable-speed wind power generation system using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter to verify the accuracy of the emulator. The behavior of the wind turbine for natural wind is reproduced by the WTE based on the proposed theory. The variable-speed wind power generation system employs a vector control system to control the torque and speed of the permanent magnet synchronous generator in the converter side. The windmill rotational speed is controlled to maximize the efficiency of the wind turbine against wind velocity. And the active power and reactive power are controlled in the inverter side, and the generated power is sent to the grid while controlling the DC link voltage to be constant at the same time. The behaviors of the WTE are compared with the simulation results and experimental results using a real wind turbine. These experimental and simulation results show that the test bench with the proposed WTE has sufficient performance and accuracy to verify variable-speed wind generator systems.
