Model Wind Power System with Simplified Generator

Wind Power System

This example models a 1.5 MVA, 575 V, 60 Hz wind power system. The model simulates the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operating region of the wind power system.

To edit the input parameters of the model, at the MATLAB® Command Window, run:

                    edit 'WindSimplifiedGeneratorInput.mlx'

Open the WindSimplifiedGenerator model.

 
open_system('WindSimplifiedGenerator.slx');

Simulation Results

These plots show the wind speed, the net active and reactive power, and the phase voltage and current. The simplified generator mechanically loads the wind turbine according to the specified power demand, supplying the required electrical power to the grid after accounting for electromechanical losses. As the wind speed increases, the power that the wind system supplies to the grid also increases, as the MPPT command specifies.
