On a wind turbine control system for rotor revolution speed, it is believed that variable speed operation has the advantages over constant speed from a view point of both aerodynamics and mechanics. However, there is no experimental study which shows the differences. In this report, the authors intend to clarify the differences about shaft torque by using experimental data, from a new wind turbine system which has both variable and constant operation. The result in observation of the experimental data shows that variable speed operational shaft torque is lower than constant speed operational one.
