This paper presents a converter-based permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) emulator as a testbed for designing, analyzing, and testing of the generator's power electronic interface and its control system. The PMSG model is formulated in a real-time digital simulator. A voltage type ideal transformer model combined with a virtual impedance is presented as an interface algorithm. The design procedure and implementation of the virtual impedance in a simulation platform is discussed. A six-switch voltage source converter is used as a power amplifier to mimic the behavior of the PMSG supplying linear and nonlinear loads. A proportional–integral plus resonant controller is proposed as a voltage loop controller for tracking a distorted output voltage reference signal. The accuracy of the proposed emulator is investigated for the fundamental and low-order voltage harmonics. Technical challenges of the PMSG emulator are considered and proper solutions are suggested. The performance of the proposed emulator is compared with an actual PMSG.
