Wind power generation calculation model

How do you calculate the energy of a wind turbine?

Wind turbines operate based on calculating the energy using the following equation: Energy = Power × Time. The variables in the power equation (given in equation 5) are different.

What factors determine the output power of a wind turbine?

The output power or torque of a wind turbine is determined by several factors. Among them are (i) turbine speed, (ii) rotor blade tilt, (iii) rotor blade pitch angle (iv) size and shape of turbine, (v) area of turbine, (vi) ro-tor geometry whether it is a HAWT or a VAWT, (vii) and wind speed.

What are the different types of wind power models?

Models for wind power include distributed wind, utility-scale wind, and offshore wind. The REEDS model (Regional Energy Deployment System) is an example of a wind power model that simulates the evolution of the bulk power system, generation and transmission, from the present day through 2050 or later.

How can wind power output be modelled?

The probabilistic nature of wind power output can also be modelled by deriving curves using actual data of power output and wind speed of turbines deployed in a wind farm. This method requires a large number of historical data but results in accurate models [4, 24].

How to model wind turbine power curves?

Another method to model the power curves is to derive them using the actual data of wind speed and power measured from the turbines . The data of wind turbines collected by the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system can be utilized for this purpose.

What is a wind turbine dynamic model?

While there are many wind turbine dynamic models available in the literature [19, 36–39], the focus is largely on modeling variable-speed wind turbines. These models often oversimplify the mechanical drive train and aerodynamics, since the aim is to evaluate power and rotor speed control mechanisms.
