从历史上看，风力涡轮机原型是在现场进行测试的，这曾经是并且仍然是一个缓慢且昂贵的过程。因此，风力涡轮机测功机设施的开发为现场测试提供了更具成本效益的替代方案。测试了新的涡轮机设计，并使用测功机在受控环境中驱动涡轮机验证了设计模型。多年来，风力涡轮机测功机测试和计算机技术都已经成熟和改进，现在两者结合起来提供硬件在环（HIL）测试。此类测试使用计算机来模拟测功机测试中缺少的项目，例如电网刚度、电压、频率、转子和轮毂。此外，现在可以实时模拟风输入和不断变化的电网条件。这一最新进展极大地提高了测功机测试在风力涡轮机系统开发中的实用性。
Historically, wind turbine prototypes were tested in the field, which was--and continues to be--a slow and expensive process. As a result, wind turbine dynamometer facilities were developed to provide a more cost-effective alternative to field testing. New turbine designs were tested and the design models were validated using dynamometers to drive the turbines in a controlled environment. Over the years, both wind turbine dynamometer testing and computer technology have matured and improved, and the two are now being joined to provide hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. This type of testing uses a computer to simulate the items that are missing from a dynamometer test, such as grid stiffness, voltage, frequency, rotor, and hub. Furthermore, wind input and changing electric grid conditions can now be simulated in real time. This recent advance has greatly increased the utility of dynamometer testing for the development of wind turbine systems.
