Renewable Energy Spotlight on Wind Power
Wind energy production continues to increase
Wind power is rapidly advancing as a source of renewable energy, with wind power installations outpacing solar installations. Evaluating the various tradeoffs in wind-turbine design requires extensive evaluation in simulation and measurement.
In this white paper, the experts at AMETEK Programmable Power talk through testing and how AC and DC power supplies and loads play a crucial role in developing and testing wind-turbine applications' hardware and control algorithms, as well as:
- Programmable supplies can be used in test setups for the motors providing pitch and yaw control.
- They can simulate batteries to provide for the test of DC/DC converters used in applications that include local battery storage.
- A three-phase programmable AC source can simulate the generator, providing variable output voltages and frequencies.
- And much more!
