Description
On-Grid Wind Power Plant Trainer
Model WG-EGRID/EV
Model WG-GRID/EV (computerized version)
This system enables experimental investigation on the operation of a wind power generator. The equipment is manufactured using real components available on the market
Description:
System configuration: grid-connected
The system consists of:
A) Horizontal axis wind power generator
B) Table top control panel including:
B.1) Grid-Tie Inverter
B.2) Electric load
B.3) Electric instrumentation for detecting the energy flows in the different branches of the circuit
B.4) PC data acquisition system (WG-GRID/EV)
C) Wind speed sensor (WG-GRID/EV)
D) Wind direction sensor (WG-GRID/EV)
Operating Principle:
Training Program:
- Components of a grid connected wind power system for electricity production
- Effect of the wind speed on the generator output voltage
- Wind generator energy conversion efficiency
- Interconnection of wind energy to the public grid
- Operation and efficiency of a DC/AC inverter
- Use of wind power generator indoor operation device
PC Data Acquisition (WG-GRID/EV)
- All instruments and sensors, as described above, are connected in Modbus network.
- A specific software (developed with LabView) is supplied to monitor the system parameters
- Parameters displayed:
– All DC / AC parameters – Wind speed and direction - The software enables to:
- Calculate energy conversion efficiency
- Visualize the trend of the wind speed and direction andthe energy flows to and from wind power generator, gridand load
- Save the exercises data for future analysis or project work
