Variable Ratio Hydrostatic Transmission Simulator for Optimal Wind Power Drivetrains

This work presents a hydromechanical transmission coupled to an electric AC motor and DC generator to simulate a wind power turbine drive train. The goal of this project was to demonstrate and simulate the ability of a hydrostatic variable ratio system to produce constant electric power at varying w...
