Small Wind Power Plant Trainer
Small wind power plants up to approx. 5 kW power are being deployed today for decentralised power supplies. These plants generate DC voltage. The energy can be stored in accumulator batteries using charge controllers. Inverters are used to generate AC voltage for operating consumers requiring the standard electricity supply voltage. The effects of wind power and the mechanical design of wind power stations can be emulated down to the last detail using the servo machine test stand and the software WindSim. The corresponding Interactive Lab Assistant Multimedia course imparts knowledge, provides interactive experiment setup support and allows for PC-assisted evaluation of the measurement data.
