Test system of a small wind turbine under laboratory conditions

As a clean, renewable, widely distributed, non-polluting energy, wind power plays an important role in the world's renewable energy development. In order to ensure the stable operation of wind turbines using non-grid-connected wind power, as well as the efficient utilization of wind resources, a study of condition monitoring of wind turbines is necessary. A test system of wind turbines under laboratory conditions based on a LabView platform has been designed and the system has been applied on small wind turbine test bed to test the performance of output power and vibration characteristics. The result of simulation testing has verified the effectiveness of the test system.
