Software-in-the-Loop Simulation of a Gas-Engine for the Design and Testing of a Wind Turbine Emulator

In order to investigate the grid integration of wind turbines (WT) various scales and designs, a turbine emulator (WTE) is being built in Flensburg within state-funded project GrinSH. The special feature this WTE use large gas engine instead an electric motor emulate behavior WT. develop controls innovative design upcoming test runs under safe conditions, software loop model (SILM) was applied. This SILM contained mathematical turbine, models with integrated controller, generator frequency converter unit, as well preventive modulator reference signal (PMRS). PMRS module converts emulated WT such way that dynamics components can be calculated balanced advance enable required entire despite engine. It found module, developed tested work, increased ability WTE, based on engine, reproduce
