Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis and simulation of a Tunisian Wind farms in Sidi-Daoud, the most important wind farm in Tunisia. In this farm constant speed wind turbines are used. The first section devoted to the presentation of the wind farm of Sidi-Doud. In the second part, we present the aerodynamic model of the wind turbine and the transient model of the induction generator used in this wind park. Finally, we simulate the electrical behavior of the wind farm under the turbulent wind upstream of each rotor turbine and identify the main features based on simulation software PSAT.
