Improving the reliability of wind energy conversion systems is an important objective of research and of turbine construction. Especially oscillating loads at mechanical components induced through aerodynamics of the wind rotor cause additional expenses for maintenance. Real-time simulations of WECSs which include models of the wind rotor to simulate transients, facilitate the analysis of these oscillating loads and the development of advanced control algorithms for oscillation damping. Therefore, this paper presents a model of the wind rotor with adjustable accuracy and examines its influence on simulation results. Different wind effects that cause oscillating loads are analyzed using wind rotor models with varying accuracy. So limitations of model simplifications such as for real-time operation can be identified.
