This paper presents a comprehensive study on the mathematical modeling, simulation, and experimental validation of the electrical power output of a wind turbine system. The research begins with developing mathematical models to determine the useful electrical power generated by the wind turbine under varying operational conditions. These models are then simulated using MATLAB/Simulink to predict the system's performance. A physical prototype of the wind turbine system is constructed to collect experimental data under real-world conditions. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the simulated data to validate the accuracy of the mathematical models. The maximum relative error observed between the simulated and experimental data is 1.71 %, highlighting the reliability of the proposed models. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of the mathematical approach for predicting wind turbine performance and offers valuable insights into the design and optimization of small-scale wind energy systems.
