Abstract:
This paper describes intermediate results of the development of a genericreal-time process simulator for verification of wind turbine control
systems. The objective of the project is to reduce commissioning time
and increase safety and reliability of prototype and modified industrial
turbines. The simulator is aimed to simulate the behaviour of windturbine
components and environmental influences in real-time, in particular
for abnormal and extreme situations. Proper acting of turbine controls
can then be verified easily by connecting the controller direct to the
configurable process simulator. ?Hardware in the loop? is added to evaluate
real components instead of simulating them. The first project phase
has been finished and was focussed on exploration and analysis. A development
methodology has been established based on a case with a simplified turbine.
Inventorying two different industrial wind turbines, as well as external
influences, specifies general turbine components. The second phase involves
modelling and implementation and is currently in execution. The simulator
is foreseen to be available for industrial use before end 2005.
