Abstract
Renewable energy sources provide an environmentally friendly solution to contemporary energy needs as a replacement for fossil fuels. Wind energy is one of the leading renewable energy sources for its cleanliness and sustainability. Power transformation devices represent an important factor in power generation from wind power devices. In this work, an asynchronous generator is adapted to accommodate a wind turbine of 5 MW capacity. A complete model for wind turbine mechanical torque and power calculation is presented. The NREL 5 MW wind turbine is used as a case study for validation. The modified Simulink generator tool is tested for the wind turbine model and showed promising results. At the rated wind speed of 11.4 m/s, the present generator model has shown an accuracy of 97.45% compared to the turbine’s nominal power value. This model can be used as a reference for modelling any wind turbine of any capacity using basic wind conditions and design parameters.
