Optimization of a Small Wind Power Plant for Annual Wind Speed Distribution

This article presents a method to adjust the elements of small wind power plant speed characterized by highest annual level energy. Tests were carried out on basis distributions at three locations. The standard range speeds was reduced that resulting from in these construction generators and their excitation adapted characteristics turbines. results obtained for designed plants compared with those commercial turbine 10 mps. generator structure control optimized using genetic algorithm MATLAB program (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA); magnetostatic calculations FEMM program; simulations conducted proprietary simulation program. verified measurement switched reluctance machine same voltage, power, design. Finally, yields various locations determined.
