Spec Sheet Description
Off-Grid Wind Power Plant Trainer
Model WG-EOG/EV
Model WG-OG/EV (computerized version)
This system enables experimental investigation on the conversion of wind energy into electricity by means of a wind power generator.
The equipment is manufactured using real components available on the market
Description:
System configuration: stand-alone (isolated from the grid)
The system consists of:
A) Horizontal axis wind power generator
B) Table top control panel including:
B.1) Charge regulator
B.2) Electric load
B.3) Electric instrumentation for detecting the energy flows in the different branches of the circuit
B.4) Data acquisition board with USB interface for PC connection (WG-OG/EV)
C) Buffer battery
D) Wind speed and direction sensor (WG-OG/EV)
Operating Principle:
- In case there is no wind blowing, all the energy consumed by the user (loads) is taken from the battery
- In case there is wind blowing but no load is connected, all the energy produced by the system charges the battery
- In case there are both wind blowing and loads, the energy produced by the system partially charges the battery and partially powers the loads
- When the consumption is higher than the power available from the wind, the power surplus is given by the battery
Training Program:
- Physical principles whereby wind power is transformed into electrical power
- Energy balance and efficiency; for WG-EOG/EV
- Study of the Energy Flows and the related measurement devices
PC data acquisition (WG-OG/EV):
- The trainer is supplied with data acquisition board with USB interface for connection to PC
- A specific software (developed with LabView) is supplied to monitor the system parameters
- The visualized parameters are:
– All DC parameters
– Wind speed and direction
The software enables to:
- Calculate energy conversion efficiency
- Visualize the trend of the wind speed and direction and the energy flows to and from wind generator, buffer battery and load
- Save the exercises data for future analysis or project work
