Energy Conversion in a wind power station Trainer Model.
Technical Description of the Trainer
The Energy Conversion in a wind power station trainer must include the following descriptions
or functions:
Able to conversion of kinetic wind energy into electrical energy
Shall consist different measurements such: wind velocity in front of and behind the
rotor, speed of the rotor, voltage and current. function and design of an standâ€alone
system with a wind turbine
determining the power coefficient as a function of tip speed ratio
energy balance in a wind power station
determining the efficiency of a wind power station
the trainer shall be able to conduct experiments under real wind conditions, so that a
larger wind generator shall be able to be connected to the control panel.
