This paper describes a real-time hardware simulator for the grid-tied PMSG wind power system, which consists of an anemometer, a data logger, a motor-generator set with vector drive, and a back-to-back power converter with DSP controller. The anemometer measures the real wind speed, and it is sent to the data logger to calculate the turbine torque. The calculated torque is sent to the vector drive for induction motor after scaled down to the rated simulator power. The motor generates the mechanical power for the PMSG, and the generated electrical power is connected to the grid through a back-to-back converter. The developed simulator can be utilized for analyzing various mechanical and electrical characteristics of grid-tied PMSG wind power system
