Abstract
This paper aims to study the standard behavior of the VSVP (Variable Speed Variable Pitch) NREL 2 MW and NREL 5 MW wind turbines, analyzing and comparing the performance of these turbines in relation to the wind velocity and pitch forces in steady state condition. In this work, a bibliographical revision was elaborated and a computational tool, G.H. Bladed 4.5, was employed in order to analyze the steady state calculations between the two turbines. The results obtained were consistent in the sense of identifying the characteristic pattern of the behavior of the VSVP turbines.
