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
