The main goal of this work is to develop specific procedures for implementation in wind turbine simulators designed especially for small machines. Using blade element methodology, we establish procedures for the torque and power characteristics of a small wind turbine, where some physical construction parameters are known. The algorithm is developed for two simulation procedures, which differ by the parameter used for the set of characteristics (wind speed or pitch angle).
