Detailed Documentation

A wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into kinetic energy through rotating blades, which can then be transformed into electrical or mechanical power. The transmission system of a wind turbine plays a critical role in converting wind energy into other usable forms of energy. Through mathematical model simulation with appropriate code implementation, we can better understand the operational principles of wind turbines, including blade motion trajectories, mechanical component stress analysis, and dynamic behavior. The simulation typically involves aerodynamic modeling using blade element momentum theory, shaft dynamics with torsion equations, and gearbox efficiency calculations. This approach helps optimize wind turbine design by evaluating performance parameters through computational algorithms, improving efficiency and reliability, thereby enabling better utilization of wind energy resources. Key functions in the simulation code may include torque calculation modules, rotational speed controllers, and power conversion algorithms that model the energy transformation chain from wind input to electrical output.
