The GUNT Wind Turbine Operating Behaviour Trainer investigates the interaction of mechanical, electrical, and control components in wind power systems. Simulating a slowly rotating wind rotor with high torque, this trainer uses a gear motor, spur gear, and synchronous generator to deliver realistic drive train performance. Paired with powerful GUNT software, it enables analysis of characteristic diagrams, turbine control parameters, and energy conversion efficiency under varied operating conditions.
