What is it about?
In order to extract the maximum power from a wind turbine system, it is required to operate at variable speed. This however will lead to a (variable frequency-variable voltage) output which is not desired. The goal of this project is to build a system that can harvest the energy from a variable speed wind turbine and supply a (constant voltage-constant frequency) output to a variable load. To emulate the wind turbine, we used a variable speed dynamometer. The system is composed of an induction generator to harvest the energy from the wind turbine, rectifier and a DC-DC converter to ensure a fixed DC output, and an uncontrolled inverter to obtain a 380, 50 Hz three phase output to the load.
