Abstract
This paper presents the principles of developing an electromechanical emulator based on an original hybridization concept of a wind and tidal power system. Wind and tidal horizontal axis turbines showcase functional similarities and electromechanical coupling possibility. Tidal concepts are very close to those of wind power. Tidal turbine technology should thus reach maturity more quickly because it is possible for it to rely on a certain number of reliable and proven techniques developed for wind power. The proposed hybrid wind – tidal turbine system is electromechanically coupled on the axis of rotation of a single and common electric generator. An experimental simulation of the hybrid wind-tidal turbine system was carried out, using a developed architecture of an emulator system. The results are both numerical simulations carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and tests obtained employing real-time emulators.
