This study presents the development and experimental validation of a wind turbine emulator based on a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). The emulator employs an induction motor driven by a commercial frequency inverter and is controlled using the Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) MPPT based algorithm combined with flux-oriented control techniques. The system replicates real wind turbine behavior under various operating conditions, including unbalanced wind speeds, providing a reliable and flexible platform for testing wind energy conversion systems. The TSR-based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm ensures optimal energy extraction, while flux-oriented control enables precise regulation of rotor currents for efficient and stable operation. Experimental results confirm the emulator's effectiveness in validating control strategies for wind energy systems
