The invention discloses a wind turbine simulator of a double salient pole motor and a control method thereof, which belong to the wind turbine simulator and the control method thereof. The wind turbine simulator of the double salient pole motor comprises a double salient pole motor, a main power circuit and a control circuit, wherein the main power circuit comprises a power supply and an IPM, and the control circuit comprises a buffer circuit, a failure detector circuit, a current and voltage sampling circuit, a position detecting circuit, a PWM control circuit, an overcurrent and overvoltage protection circuit, an ADC module, a rotating speed computing circuit, a logic control circuit, a torque observer, a capturing unit, a torque loop, a lag loop comparer and a mathematical model of the wind turbine. The control method adopts the manner of double loop control with the inner loop for the torque and the outer loop for the rotating speed, and the current of the double salient pole motor is indirectly controlled through comparing the reference torque with the fedback torque, so as to realize the simulation of the wind turbine. The invention has the advantages that the structure is simple, the force is large, various wind speeds under conditions such as a wind tunnel or a wind field can be simulated, and the invention has large flexibility.
