Abstract: Energy is a necessary and essential ingredient of socio-economic development and economic growth. There are various sources of energy,out of which, wind energy is free and clean renewable source of energy. Wind is caused by differential heating of earth’s surface by the sun. Greenhouse gas emissions per unit of wind energy are approximately 90% less than the emission from conventional fossil fuel power sources. It has been estimated that roughly 10 million MW of energy are continuously available in the earth’s wind. Now, a day’s various types of wind turbines are used for producing electrical energy. Out of which DFIG wind turbine is a variable speed wind turbine. Before, using a wind farm consumer should know about its power drawn capacity of DFIG wind turbine. In this paper, there is a complete analysis of 12 MW wind farm connected with DFIG wind turbine maximum power tracking characteristics curve followed by the simulation model results w.r.to voltage, current and generated power (P and Q).After that graphical results are compared with its mathematical evaluation with its aerodynamic equation. Simulations are done under MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Keywords: Wind energy, doubly-fed induction generator- wind turbine, wind farm, tracking characteristics.
