Abstract :
The aim of this study is to describe a synchronous generator emulator prototype based on a three-phase power electronics converter. The physical structure of the emulator and its relation with the generator mathematical model is described. A voltage-behind-reactance model is used to reproduce the behavior of the generator. Comparison of experimental results against simulations confirms the validity of the proposal.
