Energy estimation on large-scale time of stand-alone wind turbine

In this paper, accurate energy production estimation of stand-alone wind turbine in southern Tunisia has been studied. Energy estimation by Weibull distribution and meteorological data is applied. The design of the wind turbine system architecture according to all the characteristics of the studied site was presented. Monthly average wind energy production is estimated with the integration of converters losses. Loss models of boost and rectifier converters are investigated. The obtained results show that the integration of converters losses and using the statistical distributions leads to a better energy estimation taking into account all the characteristics of the southern Tunisia site.
