correction capacitor bank and a three-phase load. The wind turbinemodel uses a lookup table to compute the turbine output torque as a function of its speed (Figure4).The simulation is run at a wind speed of 10 m/s. This example illustrates the startup and thesteady-state operation of the wind turbine/induction generator system. The speed of rotation ofthe induction machine is above 1 pu indicating operation in generator mode (Figure 5). Figures6 and 7 show that the output power is 200 kW and the output three-phase voltages areapproximately 450 Vpeak. Students can vary the wind speed, the power factor correctioncapacitor value and the load. Figure 4: Wind-turbine driven induction generator model Figure 5
