Abstract

This paper is concerned with the study of a small wind generation system used for battery charging. A topology that aims at the exploitation of the energy generated at low speed is proposed. The characteristics of the wind turbine and the generator are discussed, providing the overview of the system modeling. Simulation tests of the system are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK, as the relevant results are supposed to be compared with experimental data and validate the proposal.
