VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE WITH PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR SIMULATION IN MATHLAB SIMULINK

The research paper discusses the dynamic process simulation of the vertical axis wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator. Experimental and analytical investigations show that the real aerodynamic model, which is based on the wind speed, generator rotation angle and angular speed and the dimensions of the wind turbine in virtual model, provides more accurate simulated wind turbine real torque output than theoretical equation simulations that are based only on the wind speed or generator angular speed. MATLAB SIMULINK simulated virtual model shows the importance of the moment of inertia in vertical axis wind turbine system, where by finding the best moment of inertia for the vertical axis wind turbine it becomes possible to achieve a more stable real torque output.
