Average model of wind energy system dedicated to optimal design of the global system

Abstract

This paper presents an average model based on justified simplifications dedicated to the design and optimization of wind energy systems. Indeed, the classic models of wind energy systems are complex and their use is not efficient for the optimal design of the components of the power chain given the complexity, the significant time of resolution and the strong correlation of the physical parameters of these models. For these reasons, a model based on the theory of average values with reduced simulation time of a wind turbine structure is developed. This model is validated against the classic model of the wind chain using the SimPowerSystem library of power component models integrated under the Matlab-Simulink simulation environment.
