- Description
- Small scale solar and wind turbines are finding increased application in stand-alone, grid-connected and micro grid scenarios. New controllers for these devices are continually being developed. This paper documents the design and development of a low cost circuit to emulate the electrical characteristics of both photovoltaic arrays and wind turbines. The emulator circuit is intended as a tool to aid in the development of new wind turbine and photovoltaic controllers. The emulator consists of a DC / DC converter controlled by a microprocessor. A separate Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) module is also described.
