I am currently performing the simulation for a 5 kW direct drive wind turbine generator system employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator. For designing the wind turbine part using mathematical equations, I am in need of details about the Power Coefficient curve, that is, the maximum value of Cp that the WT will achieve at an optimum value of the Tip Speed ratio. Where can I find details about this? Is it usually given by the manufacturer or will the optimum values have to be determined by a simulated mathematical process?
Thanks in advance for your help!
