Information

This model illustrates the use of the wind turbine model, which is connected to a AC voltage source and a resistive load. This voltage source can represent the grid to which the circuit is connected. Wind data for San Francisco, CA, are used. The turbine cut-in wind speed is 3.5 m/s, and hence it is off in the first day when the wind speed is low.

The wind turbines produce different amounts of power on each phase according to the fractions specified by the vector scaleFraction={0.5,0.25,0.25}. In this example, 50% of the power generation is on phase 1, 30% on phase 2 and 20% on phase 3. As expected the phase with the higher power production has the higher voltage deviation from the nominal condition.
