Dynamic response of power generating wind turbines

Conference · · Alternative Energy Sources; (United States)
OSTI ID:5280562
A model is presented of the rotational dynamics of a large wind turbine driving synchronous and non-synchronous electric generators. The rotor is assumed rigid with constant-chord blades and is modeled by aerodynamic strip theory. The loads include a dc generator with either field current control or blade pitch control and a synchronous alternator with blade pitch control. These models are used to evaluate rotational response of the wind turbine to step-changes in wind speed. 5 refs.
