Abstract— With the deepening of the concept of sustainable
development, wind power as a renewable energy has been rapid
developed. The simulation of wind power generation system in
wind power system analysis, power analysis and power grid
energy analysis in both played a very important role. In this
paper, by using the MATLAB software, the power electronic
system mathematical model related to the wind speed, wind
wheel, driving mechanism, power generator, and wind power is
established and the research of simulation is carried out, which
are used for analysis of simulation results. This paper introduces
the control technology of wind turbine, which is mainly about
variable pitch control and generator speed control, and this
paper carries out the simulation of pitch control system and
below-rated and above-rated wind speed variable speed wind
power system by using the software of MATLAB.It also makes

I. INTRODUCTION
Wind power originated in the 1970s, the technology is
mature in 80 years, since the 1990s the development of wind
power into the big stage. With increasing wind power capacity
control from a basic single fixed pitch stall control to full
control of the blade pitch control and speed development. In
the aerodynamics of wind turbines and energy conversion
principle, based on the systematic analysis of the fixed-pitch
wind turbines, variable pitch wind turbines, the basic control
requirements and variable speed wind turbine control
strategies, and the grid-wind turbine pitch control technology
for a certain amount of research. Pitch control on the input
power from the main control wind turbine rotor speed is
controlled and the grid at the start. By pitch control blade
pitch angle can be adjusted according to wind speed, generator
starting with the system to meet the output power stability of
the dual requirements.
This paper mainly through MATLAB simulation software,
build wind power system control model and a complete
simulation model finer degree of control, but the higher the
degree of difficulty. In this paper, starting from the application
of the principles of object, first analyses and mathematical
models of wind turbines and wind turbine model the whole, so
the simulation study.
Natural wind energy is the source of wind power generation
system, which is in the process flow, speed and direction is
constantly changing, with strong randomness and mutation.
This article does not consider the wind problem, just change
the characteristics of its emphasis describe its randomness and
intermittent, that its spatial and temporal model consists of the
following four components: The basic wind speed wind gusts,
gradient wind and noise wind. So the model simulated wind

Generally, Vail basic wind speed distribution parameters of
wind farms can be obtained to determine the approximate
wind, and it does not change with time, and thus taken as a
constant. In this paper, the basic wind speed 6m/s. Its
