Estimation of the Maximum Efficiency and Mechanical Performance Output from Wind Turbine

The evaluation of the maximum possible efficiency of an idealized turbine of 1 kW with no losses in the gearbox and the inverter is made. It is shown that the turbine efficiency cannot exceed 59%. Based on the obtained mathematical model describing, the diameter of the wind turbine was calculated at the maximum efficiency value. Mathematical models describing mechanical energy conversion and electrical energy conversion are considered, which form a mathematical model of a wind turbine, presented in the form of a Simulink scheme.
