Wind Turbine Modeling in Matlab Simulink

Abstract

Accurate modeling of wind turbine systems has received a lot of concern for controls engineers, seeking to reduce loads and optimize energy capture of operating turbines. When designing wind turbine systems, engineers often employ a series of models.

This paper investigates the wind turbine systems modeling in Matlab Simulink environment. The model can be further used to study the parameters that affect the electrical power generated by the wind turbines, allowing optimizing the wind turbine.
