Evaluation of factors affecting wind turbine output power

This paper presents the most important factors that influence the energy output of the wind system. Also, a mathematical model is presented for wind power & investigates the influence of such parameters on the electrical power generated by the wind turbine. The considered factors are wind speed, turbine swept area, air density, weather temperature, and height of tower. Power coefficient as a function of pitch angle and blade tip speed is also studied. This study can be used in the selection of wind turbine with optimal parameters, which yield the highest amount of energy can be captured from wind. Simulation MATLAB program is implemented for this study and wind turbine sample parameters have been used in this simulation.
