Study on modeling and simulation of non-grid-connected wind turbine

In order to fully understand the characters and working principles of non-grid-connected wind turbine, this paper makes an analysis on different methods for modeling non-grid-connected wind turbine. First, according to the structure of the wind turbine, a theoretical model is presented, including three subsystems: rotor, transmission system and generator. Response of the model to a wind sequence is simulated. Then, based on the data gained from experiment, a model of small wind turbine is presented using system identification. The main content of the model is the performance coefficient Cp derived from experimental data. A comparison is made on the simulation results of the model and the data measured. With simulation results of the two methods for modeling wind turbine, by using theoretical analysis and identification respectively, we can see the two models are both effective; only that they should be applied in different conditions.
