MICRO-GRID WIND TURBINE TRAINER

Modular trainer for the theoretical and practical study of the electric energy generation from a wind turbine.
With the Micro-Grid Wind Turbine Trainer it is possible to perform experiments to study the conversion from wind energy to electrical energy, and measure the system parameters such as wind speed, turbine speed, electrical power and efficiency on a real wind turbine installed outdoor.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
o Identification of wind turbine components
o Wind turbine installation and testing
o Anemometer installation and testing
o Operating the wind turbine and anemometer
o Operating the Wind Turbine Breaker
o Measuring wind power
o Measuring Wind turbine electrical power
o Wind speed vs rpm
o Wind speed vs power
o Calculating Wind turbine power coefficient Cp
o Using Wind Turbine to Charge the Battery
o Study of wind turbine with load.
