Description
Simulink model for a New Energy 5kW hydropower turbine.
ADCP data ("ds_streamwise_7_13.nc") and DC voltage, DC current, and rotor rotation observed from the New Energy EVG-005 Current Energy Converter (CEC) ("electrical_7_13_10ohms.nc") were collected at the Tanana River Test Site (TRTS) near Nenana Alaska.
- Data was collected on July 13th, 2023 with a constant 10 ohms resistance applied with a DC load bank.
- Simulink model is meant to resemble the electrical setup at the TRTS.
- Model is initialized by running the "NewEnergy_2023_10hz.m" Matlab script. Then the Simulink model ("New_Energy_Model_PMSM.slx") can be run.
- Results are processed with the "NewEnergy_2023_processing.m" Matlab code. The Matlab results are also saved in the "New_Energy_7_13_model_validation_results.mat" Matlab file. This can be directly loaded into the Matlab Workspace using the "Load()" command.
- The timetable variables "electrical_model_downsampled" is the model results and the "electrical_limited" is the experimental data from the TRTS.
