讲的太好了。
very useful
Hi the model is very useful for students who want to specialize in wind Energy. While using the model, I same across a problem dont know whether its an error or built in that way. When I simulate the model under lift and drag, hydraulic pitch, servomotor nacelle and in all wind speeds. The output power is 0 until it reaches the cut in upper speed, which is actually in contrast when compared with power curve characteristics. So could please explain what the problem is.
Hi sir I am doing project about wind plants can give me more details about wind power plant.
Dear Mr. Miller, I am a graduate student and after watching the webinar. I have two questions: 1) whether any difference exists in the developed model for various Matlab versions? 2) whether any detailed manual for using the model except for the videos for the beginner? Thanks for your consideration. ---JZ
Hi Peter - Simscape is very useful for modeling physical systems. Compressed air energy storage systems involve plenty of physics and can be modeled in Simscape. Look through some videos and example models and you will see what it can be used for. --Steve
Mr. Miller I am a p/t time PhD student working on compressed air energy storage systems for offshore wind turbines and still learning simulink with an appreciable knowledge of MATLAB. Would Simscape help me in my modelling?
Thanks,

Hello Mr. Miller
Thank you very much for upload the wind turbine model. Your work is very useful and interesting.
I am working in my final master project which is about developing and optimizing a pitch controller using fuzzy logic algorithms compared to a normal PI controller. I would like to know if you have worked in some model with these control methods. Any kind of help and advice will be very useful and appreciated. danielcermeno90@gmail.com
Hi Steve, thanks for the model.You're work is really helpful for me. I'm trying to simulate your model using some wind speed dataset (speed and angle) coming from my measures. I would like to know how to change the wind speed and it's direction in the "Turbine Input" bloc.
Someone help pls!
Thanks
@abdelhali - my startup_Wind_Turbine script is using the '\' character to separate levels of subdirectories, and it appears your operating System is expecting '/'. Fix that and it should run.
@Rakesh - I believe you Need to Change line 223 of Wind_Turbine_Parameters to
WT_Params.Generator.Breakers.cp = 1e9;
@Mostafa -- the model supplied here is free of charge, but you will Need the required products to run it. Students get it at a good Price, and there is a Home Version as well.
Thanks for all the interest -- sorry I can't answer every question right away.
--Steve

excellent work Mr steve miller
@Steve Miller, i a technical student working on Green energy technologies, as apart of my final year project i need to simulate a vertical axis wind turbine. I made the simscape model by exporting with the help of a CAD software(soliworks). but I didn't understand how to ceate an effect of wind on the turbine blades. For my project i have to show the variation in
1) RPM,
2) angular velocity,
3) if any viberation on the body, then its variation
4)the velocity at which the turbine starts rotation and the minimum velocity at which the turbine stop rotation.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwW2lrATbxgJOW11SHY2TjBZNk0
here is the link to the model i made, please help me to finish my project.
sir, kindly send me matlab simulation wind turbine.
thanks

Mr. Miller
in (wind_lib\Segments)
Why do not you use the flapping bending moment calculated from port M directly instead of decomposing the moment of port N?
Note that:
I think that you calculated the bending moment of block (Lift and Drag) as calculated in port M of block (Segments)
Hi everyone, can someone help me ? How can i upgrade some blocks like the "wind" block in Matlab 2014a ?Thank you

Hi Steve,
Is there any citation link to this sample?
How can I refer to this sample in my work?
nice working..
Great job!
if you please i want a m.file to calculate the output power of wind turbine and PV by only giving them the rated power of each and wind speed for the turbine and temperature and sun radiance for PV. please send it to me on motaz.amer@gmail.com
Can anyone please help me in designing a system in Simulink for pitch control with blade load only? I am not considering the power part but only the loading. I want to test the system under static and dynamic conditions but I am not familiar with the equations to use. I am also not considering the yaw mechanism. It is a simple design but I still need help with the mathematical modelling.
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your work! However, I have a problem. I have a 64 bits Matlab. When I run your model, it gives an error. How can I resolve this problem. This is the message:
The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB
variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. In the near future
you will be required to update your code to utilize the new
API. You can find more information about this at:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-5C27B9.html?solution=1-5C27B9
Building with the -largeArrayDims option enables the new API.
Is there any manual to deal with this model?
I am struggling to follow the video, but it's not easy. And html link is not working. Any guys have idea for this?
I want to create some fault cases of the subsystem to see how it responds and therefore have some question: is there any way to change certain parameter during the simulation? For instance, simulation time is 80, I want to replace the leakage area of 4-way directional valve in hydraulic pitch system with another value at 40 second. Is it theoretical doable?
I just finished the settings and got it behaving well with matlab R2013a. Hope this helps mac OS 10.9 users. Instal Xcode 5.0.2,
1. As presented on http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/103904 , run the following commands on matlab R2013a command window:
cd(matlabroot)
cd bin
edit mexopts.sh
2. Save a backup copy of this file somewhere in case you make a mistake and you need to revert your changes.
3. Scroll down to the Mac (“maci64”) section of this file, beginning around line 120.
4. Replace all instances of 10.7 with 10.8; there are four of these in all (a fifth may be found in comments only)
5. Save the file, then execute the following command in the MATLAB Command Window:
mex -setup
6. Change the matlab current work directory to the equivalent unzipped folder for matlab R2013a.
7. open the file “startup_Wind_Turbine” and change all the "\" by "/"
8. Save "keep a backup of the original "startup_Wind_Turbine" if you have deleted the original zip file"
9. Follow the instructions in the README.txt file and you will have it all done.
Hope it helps
I'm trying to do exactly the same thing, but I have some problem to convert the values of Voltage and Current from phasor mode to continuous-time mode.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Can any one help me to design a wind turbine connected with a grid
sir i need wind and solar model in mdl file format.plz send to my mail id
alexandarbeski001@gmail.com
how can design wind model with intergated to grid in 3d visulation
please give suggestion and if yu have file so send me my mail gauravusic09@gmail.com
HI Steve,
is it possible to modify the wind density? If so, it sounds work well for ocean current also
am final year undergraduate student,pls I need a model for 1kw .my email is bayo0502@yahoo.com .tnks
es greath :3
@Sepideh: Yes, of course I did, It has successfully done miss Sepideh and I'll defend my work less than one week later... (my first comment that didn't show up) ;)
@Sepideh: by the way, I'll glad to help you to solve your problem
Thank you, this project is really useful.
@MohammadReza: Did you solve your problem? You know, My project is designing pitch controller for wind turbine by robust fuzzy controller method as well.
rose@mohammed reza:When i run start up im getting c failto load mex....how to solve this.Thanks in advance
@mohammed reza:This is Priyanka,im pursuing Btech final year.My project involves simulating the physical model of a wind turbine which is in our college.
What coulld be the procedure to simulate each and every component of a wind turbine ,as im new to simulink.Kindly help me out to solve this.

@priyanka: Simply you need to run Startup file to initiate default values and load libraries. by the way there is no simulation of this project for MATLAB 2010a it is just for 2009b, 2011a, 2012a & 2012b. You may need to install different version of MATLAB.
@mohammed reza:i am having problem when i run the Startup_Wind_Turbine.m file. it is unable to compile. When I run the .mdl file directly it open up the complete model but when i simulate it, it gives some error: Failed to find library 'Wind_Lib' referenced by 'Wind_Turbine/Blade Load'. This library must be on your MATLAB path.
But this error is solved when I added path in MATLAB. Now when I run the simulation in simulink I get error:
"Expression WT_Params.Main_Controller.wind_speed_cut_in_lower' for initial value of data 'wind_speed_cut_in_lower' (#66) did not evaluate."
@Steve Miller: or How can I force turbine to work only in Generating State...
@Steve Miller: I think my last comment didn't pop up, I already managed to replace pitch controller with my fuzzy controller in Pitch Controller block, but there is a problem with Turbine State Machine in Main Controller block. when wind speed gets more than 25rpm, the turbine goes to brake state. my fuzzy controller handle these state automatically. I already changed input value for wind speed to solve this but I know it's just a temporary solution! How can I bypass Main Controller section or change the default values for turbine_speed_cut_in, wind_speed_cut_in_upper and wind_speed_cut_in_lower? Thanks...
@Steve Miller: In a simple word, I need turbine works only in Generating State...
very good
@MohammadReza -- concerning the negative power, this model does not have any logic to control when the generator is connected to the grid. As a result, there is a significant transient when we simply close the breaker when the turbine is near the appropriate speed. The unexpected sign is because the generator is actually driven by the grid for a short period of time.
@mohammedreza:I ve already installed matlab R2010a,initially i tried to run startup..but im getting error .
.Kindly help me to solve this
@priyanka: Can you specify the error details?
I ve matlab R2010a,im not able to run this model.Kindly help me to solve this
Another question, If I'm right We have a simulation for 2MW wind turbine but the y axis of output power diagram in Generator Scope have some value between -0.3639 and -0.3635 and power values are in this range! I'm confused...
By the way, I sent you an email with the subject "Some help please..." two weeks ago, I'll appreciate if you take a look on that...
Thank you, That's great...
@MohammadReza -- when you first open the model it is configured to run with only the mechanical load from the generator and omits the electrical system. To include the electrical power generation, you need to go into the Nacelle subsystem, right-click on the Generator Block, and select "Block Choice" / "Full". Then you will see output on the Power Scope.
Hi every body, I got a question, How can I see output generator power (P(W)) in this model? I found that there is a power variable in Generator Scopes but the Power diagram shows only zero value! what is the problem in this model?
Can anybody send me a control wind turbine system by using braking system . . . .I need urgent .. .please send me on m.awais29@hotmail.com ....
thank you very much
i waana help in simulation of micro wind power generator with battery energy storage for critical load....
very good work
I successfully run the model and review webinars and it is very very usefull and it is really great work...
But I really interested in Yaw control than Pitch control so if you can send me the yaw controller_testering it will be a really great thing.
As I try to change in model yaw control system but it is not available to edit in a subsystem....

please does anybody have the model for a 1kw wind turbine?
thanks a lot for this mr miller, please i need the model for a small wind turbine rated 1kw. please can you upload the .m and .mdl file? I'll really appreciate you for this. please time is of the essence. my email is odumosutaiwo@gmail.com
Ashish -- you need SimDriveline to run this model. Make sure you are using the right MATLAB release. Before R2011a, use the R2009b version, after R2011a use the R2011a version.
Getting Error
Unable to open file for reading: "sdl_lib.mdl".
excellent work thank you
can anyone please help me regarding this project. whenver i run the model error msz is displayed..
i have urgent need for it.. i shall be really grtful .. my id is akash_singh209@yahoo.co.in
excellent work thank you
good things
While running the startup_wind_turbine.m, it make an error while generating the model because of the Compiler.. how can I solve it?
excellent work!!!
Tiago:
hye..can u help me??
i have a problem too run this model..
can u send to me the model without error??hope u can sent to mohdazuanbasri@yahoo.com
Hi again,
Gorget the previous problem, i have already solve it.
Hi!
I'm having trouble running the application on a windows 7, 64 bits, PC.
The only file available is "Wind_Turbine_sfun.mexw32", and I am not sure if I have all the files required to compile the .mexw64 file. Could you send this file?
The simulink main file is crashing with the error "Unable to locate 'mexopts.bat', and therefore cannot determine which compiler to use for simulation builds. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported compiler.". I am currently trying to install a compiler.
Thank you for your help.
If you are having trouble running the model, please remember to run startup_Wind_Turbine.m first. Many of the errors you are getting are because you are opening the model directly. Errors concerning "wind_lib" will be solved if you run startup_Wind_Turbine.m Read the README.txt file for more information. Enjoy, --Steve
pls say something
hi Steve Miller
i appreciate your "Wind Turbine Model"
and i have a problem when i start simulation of this model
its error massage says
1) failed to find library 'wind_lib' refranced by 'wind_turbine/blade load' this liberary must be in your MATLAB path
2)failed to find library 'wind_lib' 'wind_turbine/blade load/ lift and drag' this library must be in your MATLAB path
please send me by by including those library's email teddymec2@yahoo.com
Dear sir,
i am working on turbine control project using Lidar technology , and i downloaded this model to perform my control algorithm for individual pitch control on the turbine.
i have some questions which i hope to find answers for it:
1- when i run the model without adding the generator the model works good and when i add it errors occur in the following part
wind_turbine/nacelle/generator/full/asynchronus machine pu units/ electrical model/phasor/positive sequence model
and
wind_turbine/nacelle/generator/full/asynchronus machine pu units/ electrical model/phasor/positive sequence model/mux 3.
and the problems is in the dimensions
what should i do to solve this problem
2- is it possible to replace the controller for yaw motor and pitch angles with another controller which i am working at and also the generator used
Dear Sir,
I have a problem sending the brakes requirement from the word file. The error message is (Could not locate id "GIDa_28459038_8e2a_4012_b92b_873919de293f" in the model "Wind_Turbine")
Please send me on my email id (a.hemeida@live.com)
good
excellent
