Design And Realization Of Virtual Laboratory For Pitch Control Of Wind Turbine

Laboratory is a base for training professionals and theoretical innovation. The emergence of virtual laboratory which started up a revolutionary change in experimental approach have provided an effective way to build high-performance laboratory and changed the traditional experimental model. This paper designed a virtual laboratory for the picth control of wind turbine which can make up many drawbacks in the construction of wind power laboratory. The laboratory takes the advantages of LabVIEW and Matlab/Simulink, adopts Matlab/Simulink to build wind turbine model which contains a fuzzy controller for variable pitch control, and analyzes the control effect by comparing with the traditional PID control strategy. LabVIEW as the main body of the laboratory, calls Matlab simulation model for data exchange. This paper introduced the method of data acquisition, experiment control, data storage and generating in detail. The Virtual Laboratory has a good user interface, advanced control strategies and high-effective data processed functions. In this laboratory, the experimental officers can grasp the basic principles of Wind Power Generation System,adjust the experiment parameters and observe the output performance of the unit and optimize the control control strategy.
