Abstract
In this paper, the types of wind turbines are listed and described, with the emphasis on horizontal-axis wind turbines. The parts are explained in more detail, the criteria for the selection of the wind turbine generator and the methods of managing the wind turbine are defined. In the Matlab/Simulink programming environment, a model of an electric power network with a wind farm was created, and the characteristics of the operation of wind turbines under normal and fault conditions were presented.
