Power-Scale Emulator Design of a DFIG-Based Variable Speed Wind Turbine

Resumen: This work presents the scaled-power emulator design of the doubly-feed induction generator (DFIG)-based variable speed WTS of 1.5 MW, which the power response is scaled to 1.5 kW. The design is composed by a WTS mathematical model, which software-simulated response is used for the configuration of a voltage source converter with LCL filter to act as power source simulating the operation of the WTS model. As a result, software simulation of the proposed scale-power emulator design in a grid-connected scenario is presented, which validated the design, a preliminary stage for a hardware implementation.
