| • The unit demonstrates the practical application of such a combined system for student to conduct the |
| investigation of wind and photovoltaic generation. It is supplied as standard with a high-powered axial |
| fan to generate realistic wind-speeds and an adjustable light source to allow investigation of system |
| performance inside the laboratory irrespective of outside conditions. |
| • The solar module comes with altitude emulator, that is, the angle of light source can be adjusted |
| automatically by PLC or manually by HMI & pushbuttons, simulating the sun's rising and falling. An |
| dual-axis tracking platform is installed with the PV panel to realize the automatic / manual sun |
| tracking function. |
| • The wind module comes with direction emulator, that is, the angle of wind source can be adjusted |
| automatically by PLC or manually by HMI & pushbuttons, simulating the different wind directions. The |
| wind speed can be controlled by VFD with push button for adjustment, anemometer for data collection |
| and HMI for display. |
| • Both the solar panel and wind generator are connected to a digital combined charge controller that allows |
| the output from both the solar panel and the wind generator to be investigated. Dedicated instrumentation |
| includes, watt hour meter, AC/DC voltmeter and ampere meters for investigation of system efficiency |
| and characteristics. |
