Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of an
estimator for the assessment of the power coefficient
of an offline wind turbine in a variable wind turbine
generator system (WTGS) using a direct drive permanent
magnet synchronous generator. It is shown
that the estimator is supplying accurate estimates of
the power coefficient. A further advantage of the estimator
design presented is that it can be easily connected
to WTGS where different types of generators
and turbines are employed. The simulation results are
presented using a graphic user interface and MATLAB
Simulink.
