1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I did an experiment on a wind turbine simulator

I'm am doing an assignment and I need to draw up a prediction on what I think will happen

I am trying to find a Formula where I can put in the input values ie 1500rpm,

Excitation voltage, Hz .so that I can put in these values and I can make a prediction on the

output voltage or power for the inputed values

2. Relevant equations

The generator has 4 poles and is rated 1500rpm

A motor starts the generator and is set to 50 HZ

We then give the generator different excitation voltages ie 10,20,30volts

I then take the output Voltages from a display

3. The attempt at a solution

So far from the results of the experiment I am able to tell that higher the excitation voltage

the higher the output voltage or power

I also put in a graph from an actual Wind turbine With Wind speed in respect to power, which

shows the faster the wind speed the more power out until it starts to level off.
