1.0 Introduction
Nowadays, the world is looking forward to various renewable energy forms. Among those,
wind energy is more popular and the wind turbine farms construction is now a common fact.
As the wind turbine technology getting advanced, design of powerful control systems is
required to improve wind turbines behavior. There are mainly two types of wind turbines
namely fixed speed and variable speed. Those two types can divided into two sub categories
as fixed pitch and variable pitch. Here in this project the interest is on variable speed variable
pitch wind turbines.

Interval D: Otherwise, maintain maximum allowable tip speed and nominal air power, i.e.,
constant generator torque. This interval is valid until the maximum acceptable wind speed is
reached, u max =25 ms-1.
Interval E: Finally, with the wind speed larger than its maximum acceptable value the wind
turbine should be at rest.
In order to obtain the required results a wind turbine drive train has been modeled using
|SimulationX software and the required results are obtained using that model.
2.1 Design parameters
In order to achieve the given task, certain wind speed values, control systems and |simulation
results has to be obtained. Below, in the following section, some important wind speeds
related to the three regions of figure 2, are calculated
2.1.1 Cut in wind speed (
Below this speed, the wind power extracted is less than 10% of the nominal value.
Here pitch angle () is 0 (zero) and tip speed ratio () should be kept at 6.
Pair is 0.2 MW at this wind speed.
Rotor radius R = 35 m and Air density
at 20 .
At this speed the maximum allowable air power is extracted and maximum allowable tip
speed is maintained. The pitch angle remains in zero at this speed.
From equation (3)
Substituting the value in equation (2)
= 1.714 rads1
=1550*2/60 rads-1
=
= 94.699
6 = Tsun / Tplanetcarrier
6 = Tsun / (Tring+Tsun)
Tring / Tsun = 5
So number of teeth on the ring gear, sun gear and planet gear is selected as 150, 30 and 60
respectively.
For both the regular gear stages, teeth of the driven gears and drive gears are selected as 18
and 72 respectively to make gear ratio of 4 for each stage.
= 6*u*gear ratio/35
= 155/3(rated value)
