Stand-Alone Wind Turbine Application
The Stand-Alone Wind Turbine Aplication, “AEL-SWT”, has been designed by Edibon for the training at both the theoretical and practical levels in the field of wind turbines.
The “AEL-SWT” application provides several levels of training to give the user full knowledge and experiences about the most important principles of wind turbines, power generation (stand-alone) and energy storage.
One of the advantages of this application is that it includes real industrial devices such as wind turbine, current controller, stand-alone DC/AC inverter, battery, AC and DC ammetters and voltmeters, AC circuit breakers, residential electrical meter and power distribution panel, DC and AC loads, and finally, the most important element, a DC speed controller. This controller controls a DC motor speed, which is coupled to the wind turbine. This controller allows varying the speed of the wind turbine to simulate different wind speeds.
In addition, this application includes a specific manual, which explains at theoretical level the subjects relating to wind turbines, batteries energy storage, etc. The thematic of the manual covers basic principles of functioning, control and operation of small scale wind turbines at different wind speeds, energy storage in batteries, DC and AC power consumption, etc.

AEL-SWT/ICAI. INTERACTIVE COMPUTER AIDED INSTRUCTION SOFTWARE:
This complete software package consists of an Instructor Software (EDIBON Classroom Manager - ECM-SOF) totally integrated with the Student Software (EDIBON Student Labsoft - ESL-SOF). Both are interconnected so that the teacher knows at any moment what is the theoretical and practical knowledge of the students.
- ECM-SOF. EDIBON Classroom Manager (Instructor Software).
ECM-SOF is the application that allows the Instructor to register students, manage and assign tasks for workgroups, create own content to carry out Practical Exercises, choose one of the evaluation methods to check the Student knowledge and monitor the progression related to the planned tasks for individual students, workgroups, units, etc... so the teacher can know in real time the level of understanding of any student in the classroom.
Innovative features:
• User Data Base Management.
• Administration and assignment of Workgroup, Task and Training sessions.
• Creation and Integration of Practical Exercises and Multimedia Resources.
• Custom Design of Evaluation Methods.
• Creation and assignment of Formulas & Equations.
