Evaluation of parameters affecting wind turbine power generation

The utilization of wind energy for power generation purposes is becoming increasingly attractive and gaining a great share in the electrical power production market worldwide. In the present study, a mathematical model is developed to study the parameters that affect the electrical power generated by the wind turbines. The considered parameters are turbine swept area, air density, wind speed, and power coefficient as a function of pitch angle and blade tip speed. The study shows that the operational parameters has a direct effect on the generated power which will lead the developers and researchers to focus on the highest priority parameter that should be considered for manufacturing and optimizing the new generations of wind turbines
