Abstract: Accurate modelling is crucial in designing an optimum system. Wind speed distribution of selected site, hub height and power output curve of chosen wind turbine, are the main factors which influence the performance of wind turbines, and therefore, these must be properly accounted for during modelling of the wind turbines.
