A variable speed wind turbine is a type of wind turbine that adjusts its rotor speed to track the desired rotation speed, allowing it to capture the maximum power available from the wind resource, especially during light wind conditions. A variable speed wind turbine is one which is specifically designed to operate over a wide range of rotor speeds. The system also incorporates battery storage to enhance energy management. A simulation model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink to analyze the system's performance under varying. The power output from wind turbines varies nonlinearly with the wind speed, the speed of the turbine blade tips and the blade pitch angle.
