Monitoring and control of a laboratory scale wind farm

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A small laboratory work bench facility for the experimental analysis of wind farms is described. The project was based on the design and assembly, in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory, of a small grid on the laboratory scale (low voltage and power), to experimentally analyze the impact of the integration of a wind farm (in fact only one induction generator) in the electrical energy transport and distribution grid. A virtual instrument specifically developed for this work, allows both the monitoring and control of the scaled wind farm installation. This integrated platform of supervision and control is the user interface, so it has been developed as friendly and self-explanatory as possible. This way, the users have not to expend extra time to learn it.
