Modeling and Simulation of a Wind Turbine Driven Induction Generator Using Bond Graph

Abstract

This paper deals with the modelling and simulation of wind turbine driven by induction generator. Usually in mechatronic systems, several types of energy are involved. By its nature of a power conserving description of a system, the Bond-Graph method is especially practical when several physical domains have to be modeled within a system simultaneously. This is certainly the case in wind turbine systems where mechanical and electrical systems in several combinations are present. This work presents an implementation of the wind turbine model in bond graph approach. Simulation results are carried out by means of simulation in 20-sim software environment.
