Abstract

This chapter describes the details of wind turbine modeling. First, a wind energy conversion system is discussed briefly. Then, the modeling and topological overview are presented for both fixed and variable speed wind turbine generator systems. The details of drive train modeling of a fixed speed WTGS are discussed and a six-mass to two-mass conversion method is also presented. Finally, a comparative study is carried out among six-mass, three-mass, and two-mass drive train models.
