Labtronic offers comprehensive solutions for studying small wind power plants supporting decentralized energy generation. These systems primarily produce direct current (DC) voltage, which is efficiently stored in accumulator batteries using advanced charge controllers. To integrate this renewable energy into standard power grids, inverters convert the stored DC power into alternating current (AC), ensuring compatibility with conventional electrical systems.
What makes these systems unique is their ability to replicate real-world wind power generation and mechanical structures with precision. This is achieved through a 3-phase AC induction motor and a field-oriented programmable drive, simulating turbine behavior.
Additionally, a specific software enhances learning by providing detailed theoretical insights and hands-on experimental guidance. It facilitates PC-assisted measurement data evaluation, offering an immersive educational experience in small wind power systems.
