For the development of wind turbine, generally simulator is used. Simulator include wind turbine components. e.g blades, pitch and pitching method, rotor, yaw system, tower, drive train and so on. Few the more, it include a external circumstance. e.g wind speed, wind direction, air density. these basic parameters be used for the control of wind turbine by wind turbine controller in wind turbine simulator. The wind turbine controller can be designed in the wind turbine simulator. But a developer must make the real control system that will be made using PLC or PC or other processor. The developer must verify the function of control system. that is control algorithm , I/O function, communication, sequence and so on. This verification is possible if we substitute the real wind turbine control system for wind turbine controller in the simulator.

This paper proposed the wind turbine simulator for comparative study of the MPPT controls. The development of this wind turbine simulator is based on the torque controlled induction motor. The torque reference is obtained from a mathematical model of wind turbine whereas the inputs are rotor speed, wind speed and fixed-value of pitch angle. By using this wind turbine simulator, the real wind is not needed. Wind speed information can be stored and regenerated anytime. Hence it is possible to apply the same wind speed condition to different MPPT controls. With the same wind speed condition, it can fairly compare the advantages and disadvantages of the MPPT controls. The proposed wind turbine simulator is verified through PSIM simulation.

In this study, a turbine simuiator is designed and manufactured to investigate the transient response of an actual turbine. The rotor mass and bearing stiffness is reduced to 1/140 of its actual turbine. The dynamic characteristics of turbine simulator are similar to those of the actual turbine. The turbine simulator is excited by an electro-magnetic type exciter in the form of half sine wave. Duration time is con☞oiled by Sms, 10ms, and Isms, and maximum acceleration is applied by 3g. Foundation excitation test is performed in stationary condition and rotating condition(6000rpm). The test results can be used to verify the validif of the theoretical afproach for transient analysis of actual turbine.

Hydro turbine, steam turbine and their generators can be described by one general model. To realize the turbine simulator, personal computer, D.C. motor and three phase thyristor converter have been used. In the experiments for the improvement of power system stability, that is, steady state, dynamic and transient stability, the characteristics of turbine simulator proposed by this paper have shown that of real prime mover.

As wind power has increased steadily, the importance of a condition monitoring system is being emphasized to maximize the availability and reliability of a wind turbine. To develop the advanced algorithms for fault detection and lifespan estimation, a wind turbine simulator is essential for verification of the proposed algorithms before applying them to a condition diagnosis & integrity prognosis system. The developed new-type simulator in this paper includes blades and various sensors as well as a motor, a gearbox and a generator of which the existing simulators generally consist. It also has similarity with a 3MW class wind turbine and can be used to acquire operational data from various operation conditions. This paper presents a design method of control logic for the wind turbine simulator, which gives a wind generation method and similar dynamic characteristics with the 3MW wind turbine. Finally, the proposed control logic is verified through experiments.

This paper describes the development of a gas turbine engine simulator in detail. The simulator presented in this paper has a mathematical engine model based on a target gas turbine engine performance data and is developed for generating a gas turbine engine sensor signals between the hardwares and softwares of a gas turbine engine control system using Data Acquisition systems(DAS) and 1553B communication, a aeronautic standard communication specification. In addition, this paper proves the excellent performance of this simulator by showing the results of a gas turbine engine field test and simulation.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system, which was designed considering wind characteristic, blade characteristic and blade inertia compensation. The simulator consists of three major parts, such as wind turbine model using induction motor, PMSG generator, converter-inverter set. and control system. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 2kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point, and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the implementation feasibility was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

This paper presents the simulator for dynamic modeling of a MT(micro turbine) during start-up period. The simulator is implemented by modeling a dynamic power of main components of a MT including compressor, combustor and turbine. A modeling for a MT under steady state operation can be accurately built from thermodynamics analysis. But dynamic modeling during start-up period is very difficult because efficiency of main components is very low and the designed value has big error and nonlinear characteristics during start-up. In this paper, new method without using thermodynamics analysis during start-up is proposed for the simulator. The power models of main components are derived from analysis of the experimental operation data by test motoring using a electric starter under constant power output. The simulator is developed using MATLAB/Simulink. For constant power output control, sensorless vector inverter is designed and algorithms for starting from stall and method for controling a output power are proposed. The performance of developed simulator is verified by comparing experimental and simulation start-up results.

This paper focuses on development of load test simulator of a steam turbine-generator in a nuclear power plant. When load is taken off from electrical power network, it is very difficult to effectively control the steam flow to turbine of the nuclear turbine-generator, because of disturbances, such as electrical load and network unbalance on electrical network. Up to the present time, the conventional control system has been used for the load control on nuclear steam generator, owing to the easy control algorithms and the advantage which have been proven on the nuclear power plant. However, since there are problems with stability control during low power and start-up, only a highly experienced operator can operate during those procedures. Also, a great deal of time and an expensive simulator is needed for the training of an operator. The KEPRI is developed simulator for 600MW nuclear power plant to take a test of generator load rejection, throttle valve, and turbine load control. Total load test is implemented before start up.
