本研究旨在建置風力發電機模擬器及小型風能轉換系統之研製。一般在風能轉換系統之研究中，通常需藉由現地試驗或風洞試驗的輔助來完成其研發及測試，然而這將增加所需花費之時間及成本。因此，本文首先提出一風力發電機模擬系統來模擬實際風力發電機之特性，接者應用此風力發電機模擬系統來進行電能轉換系統之研製，最後結合風力發電機模擬系統及電能轉換系統建立一套風能轉換系統雛型。由實驗結果證實，本文提出之風能轉換系統可操作於獨立供電模式或市電併聯模式，並在變動之風速狀況下，可供應定功率輸出或最大功率輸出。

This thesis presents the development of wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a wind turbine simulator. Generally, wind tunnel test is essential in the evaluation of the WECS. However, such a field test inevitably increase time and cost in the developmental process. Therefore, the proposed wind turbine simulator system is constructed to emulate the actual wind turbine characteristics. Following that, a laboratory prototype of the small scaled WECS is built. Experimental results confirm that the proposed WECS can be operated in the stand-alone loading mode or grid-connected mode at constant power output or maximum power output under the various wind speed conditions.
