Modelling and Simulation of Wind Turbine

Abstract

The modelling of wind turbines based on PMSG is the subject of this research. The mathematical modelling of the turbine at various wind speeds is the main topic of this research. The fundamental circuit equations that control the wind turbines and PMSG's variable speed functioning are used to create the wind turbine model. The wind speed is not constant and it depends on the environmental conditions this variation in the wind speed can be controlled by a pitch angle controller and the desired constant electrical power is generated at operational wind speed. This paper is about the mathematical modelling of wind turbines, and their different characteristics obtained from different parameters. A standalone wind turbine system was modelled and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink and the outcomes met the design specifications.
