Abstract
This study investigates the effects of fluctuating wind speeds on the efficiency of energy capture by wind turbines, focusing on a 2.5 MW turbine operating in Dobrogea, Romania. The study contrasts two control strategies: one using average wind speed measurements and the other based on instantaneous wind speed data. By leveraging experimental observations, the research highlights the superiority of instantaneous measurements in adapting turbine operations to real-time wind conditions. A mathematical framework is employed to elucidate the dynamics of wind energy conversion, emphasizing the necessity for continuous adjustment of turbine parameters. Findings demonstrate that accurately accounting for wind speed variability is crucial for optimizing energy production, with implications for the advancement of control systems in wind energy technology.
