Quantitative Validation of Simulink-Based WECS Model Against Benchmark Wind Turbine Performance Metrics.
| Metric | Simulink Output | Benchmark Range | Validation Status | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cut-in speed | 3 m/s | 3.0–4.0 m/s | Matches range | Manwell et al29. |
| Rated speed | 9 m/s | 9–11.0 m/s | Matches range | Hansen et al. (2004)28 |
| Cut-out speed | 25 m/s | 25 m/s (standard) | Exact match | |
| Rated power output | 10.0 kW | 10.0 kW (benchmark) | Exact match | |
| Power coefficient (Cp) | ~ 0.41 (at λ = 8) | 0.40–0.45 | Acceptable range | Manwell et al29. |
| Torque-speed relationship | Matches d-q theory curve | Matches the NREL baseline | Matches shape | Yang et al46. |
