Abstract

Proper representation of the wind speed and the mechanical torque is necessary in designing the wind turbine generator system (WTGS) and its components. This paper presents the effects of different wind speed profiles on mechanical torque output of the WTGS. Mechanical torque model consists of mathematical models of wind speed, mechanical power, mechanical torque and power coefficient of WTGS. For the case study purpose, wind speed data of Chalkewadi, Satara location, are used. Four different wind speed profiles are modelled according to the wind speed data of Chalkewadi, Satara location. WTGS is excited with the modelled wind speed profiles, and response to these wind speed profiles on mechanical torque produced by WTGS is observed. There is a reduction of 56 % in mechanical torque for three cases when compared to wind speed with all four designed components. The presented model, dynamic simulation and simulation results are tested in MATLAB/Simulink and presented.
