I didn’t find some generator details of this aerogenerator that I woul like to simulate.  
I need to use THEVENIN-EQUIVALENT INDUCTION GENERATOR for NREL 5MW aerogenerator.

Could someone share a article with this details?  
I need:  
-Line frequency  
-Number of poles ❓  
-Stator resistance  
-Rotor resistance  
-Line-to-line RMS voltage  
-Stator leakage reactance  
-Rotor leakage reactance  
-Magnetizing reactance

Dear Tenfei Li,

The NREL 5-MW baseline turbine is a conceptual design only, and the details of the electrical drive, including generator details (other than the active torque controller), have never been specified for this turbine. If you need to apply a torque-speed relationship etc. different from those of the active torque control, you’ll have to make some assumptions and specify them yourself.

Best regards,
