Title: Hybrid Electro-Mechanical Simulation Tool for Wind Turbine Generators: Preprint

Conference ·

This paper describes the use of MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the electrical and grid-related aspects of a WTG and the FAST aero-elastic wind turbine code to simulate the aerodynamic and mechanical aspects of the WTG. The combination of the two enables studies involving both electrical and mechanical aspects of the WTG.
