This is a project to create a simple, open-source, simulation of a turbine suitable for use in wind or
tidal streams in plain Octave/Matlab code. It will be designed to be suitable for integration with, and
the testing of, some existing power take-off models. The drive train of the turbine will be modeled,
with the scope of the model being the conversion of a given wind velocity to a torque at the input of
a power take-off unit.
