description This paper presents the design and construction stage of a low power wind turbine emulator, which is used at the laboratory level, to reproduce different wind profiles. There are several types of wind emulators, among which the wind tunnel emulators stand out. These emulators use a motor with a propeller on their axis to obtain the desired wind speed. However, in the present work -and done from a computer- speed control is developed for a three-phase induction motor, thus driving a permanent magnet generator. The motor-generator group is controlled through a program developed in the Labview software. Also, it has the particularity of operating automatically, being able to load different speed data. Such data is associated with a particular power that takes into account the selected wind profile and can operate through manual control of the wind speed. However, this depends on the frequency given. The emulator operation is validated experimentally through two scenarios: the first one emulates the curve presented by the Eolos turbine and subsequently compares the results obtained, whereas the second one loads the wind profile of Uribía-Guajira -a region in Colombia-  achieving that the emulated wind profile can be accurately seen in the loaded wind profile.

En este artículo se presenta la etapa de diseño y construcción de un emulador de una turbina eólica de baja potencia, el cual se utiliza a nivel de laboratorio, con el fin de reproducir diferentes perfiles de viento. Existen varios tipos de emuladores eólicos, entre los que se destacan los de túnel de viento, estos utilizan un motor con hélice en su eje para obtener la velocidad del viento deseada. Sin embargo, en el presente trabajo se desarrolla un control de velocidad desde un computador para un motor de inducción trifásico, impulsando así, un generador de imanes permanentes. El conjunto de equipos motor-generador es controlado a través de un programa desarrollado en el software Labview. Además, tiene la particularidad de operar de manera automática, pudiendo cargar diferentes datos de velocidad, los cuales se encuentran asociados a una potencia en particular, teniendo en cuenta el perfil de viento seleccionado; así mismo, puede operar a través de un control manual de la velocidad del viento, pero en función de la frecuencia. La operación del emulador se valida de forma experimental a través de dos escenarios, el primero emulando la curva presentada por la turbina Eolos y con la posterior comparación de los resultados obtenidos, y la segunda cargando el perfil de viento de Uribía-Guajira, en Colombia, consiguiendo que el perfil de viento emulado logre verse fiel al perfil de viento cargado.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-04-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/pdf application/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/10530 10.19053/01211129.v29.n54.2020.10530 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 29 No. 54 (2020): Continuos Publication; e10530 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería; Vol. 29 Núm. 54 (2020): Publicación Continua; e10530 2357-5328 0121-1129 eng spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/10530/9131 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/10530/9132 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/ingenieria/article/view/10530/9600 Copyright (c) 2020 David Felipe Bajonero-Sandoval, Jeyson Sanabria-Vargas, César Leonardo Trujillo-Rodriguez, Ph.
