| dc.description.abstract | Effect of reactive power compensation in the operation of wind energy conversion systems is demonstrated in this study using a laboratory scale wind turbine emulator. the emulator is developed to provide a laboratory level teaching aid on wind power based autonomous electric micro-grid technology. Resulting from it drawing reactive power from the host grid, the emulator operates at a low power factor and this is corrected using a capacitor-based reactive power compensation scheme. The improvement in the power factor of the lab-grid, using the compensator, shows that a characteristic behavior of real wind turbine is perfectly replicated by the emulator. The emulator is thereby validated for adoption as a laboratory level demonstration and instructional facility in the teaching of wind energy conversion technology systems. | |
