Abstract

In this paper we present the interests of the hardware implementation of control algorithms for constant wind speed turbine emulator based on DC-Machine. This system includes wind speed profile, mathematical model of a horizontal axis wind turbine, a separately excited DC-Machine and a fourth quadrant chopper. Modeling, simulation and implementation are realized in Matlab/Simulink environments. Unlike other works developed in this regards and through the tool XSG, algorithms will be implemented directly on FPGA. The features of this emulator are presented. Moreover, simulation results are analyzed and discussed using Simulink and XSG showing the benefits of our application.
