Wind Power Drive Train

Product Description

Description: Modern windturbines should be optimally adapted to the wind available at their locationand allow efficient operating conditions. In addition to the wind rotor itself,components of the drive train such as the transmission and the electricgenerator are crucial. Theexperimental unit contains a typical wind powerdrive train at laboratory scale, which is driven by an electric motor. Themotor enables low speeds with high torque. This simulates a typical slowlyrotating wind rotor. The speed can be adjusted. The drive train consists of theslow-rotating drive side, the fast-rotating generator side and a three-stagespur gear between the drive and the generator. The electrical load of thegenerator can be varied. The experiments withsimulate typical operatingconditions of a drive train. To do this, the electrical load of the generatorand the speed of the drive motor are varied. This makes it possible toapproximate operating points of a typical torque characteristic. The calculatedcharacteristic results from the mechanical power of a wind rotor for a givenwind speed. The generator speed and the torques of the drive side and generatorare captured by sensors and displayed digitally on the measuring amplifier.Features: Electricmotor simulates wind rotor at low speed Generatorwith adjustable electrical load Torquemeasurements on drive and generator Specification: Experimentalunit for measurements on a wind power drive train Drive trainwith spur gear and DC generator Low-speeddrive motor with adjustable speed simulates wind rotor Simulation oftypical torque characteristics DC generatorwith connections for electrical load Adjustableload with switchable display for current or voltage Sensors forgenerator speed and torques of the drive side and of the generator TechnicalData: DC generator Rated speed: 1100min-1 Max. power: 150W Max. current: 10A Max. voltage: 28V Spur gear: Transmissionratio: 1: 53 Rated loadcapacity: 335Nm Ratedefficiency: 94% Drive motor: Rated speed: 22min-1 Speed range: 322min-1 Rated power: 0,37kW Max. torque: 153Nm
