Miniature Wind Farm/Grid Simulator!
This miniature Wind Farm/Wind Grid Simulator has 0.003x Scale models of wind turbine, terrain, homes, street lights, that can be interfaced with real Wind farm controller to demonstrate how a Wind Farm works!

Background

This project was crafted for a multi-national Wind Turbine manufacturer. This is a functional replica of a real wind farm, with scaled down size wind turbines (similated) and has several miniature cities. It also has a power grid system modelled into it. This simulator would be interfaced to real wind farm controller and different use cases would be demonstrated to trainees, customers using this functional scale model.

Product and Technology Description

The model has several microcontrollers working together with a main wind Farm Controller unit. This unit in turn connect to a Sophisticated PC based API/Software which can control the entire model.

Each turbine is modelled with two miniature motors, one that takes care of the blades rotation, while the other motor takes care of the rotation of the nacelle from the bottom of the model.
