Abstract:
Currently, experimental platforms for wind power generation systems are predominantly purely software-based or Hardware-in-the-Loop. However, these platforms often lack comprehensiveness, scalability, and innovation, which hinders the effective development of students’ practical skills. To tackle these issues, this paper presents the design of an inquiry-based experimental platform for wind power generation systems. The platform integrates three modes: scalable virtual simulation experiments, Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation experiments, and fully physical experiments. This integration significantly expands the scope of experiments for core electrical engineering courses, such as Power Electronics and Motor Control. The platform is equipped with integrated physical, communication, and control modules, and is characterized by its openness and scalability. It enables the refinement and optimization of wind power control algorithms through automated code generation, thus significantly contributing to the pedagogical reform in experimental teaching for electrical engineering.
