Micro-turbine simulator based on speed and torque of a DC motor to drive actually loaded generators

Abstract

This paper deals with a realistic turbine simulator that uses a 20 kW DC motor with an independent excitation and controlled by a microcomputer. The turbine torque and rotation are both simulated according to wind and load of actually driven generators with any type of actual loads. With the help of this simulator it is possible to develop and realise tests in electrical power plants in conditions as close as possible to the actual conditions commonly encountered in field practice.
