Wind Energy Generation – Modelling and Control

TRAMA

With increasing concern over climate change and the security of energy supplies, wind power is emerging as an important source of electrical energy throughout the world. Modern wind turbines use advanced power electronics to provide efficient generator control and to ensure compatible operation with the power system. Wind Energy Generation describes the fundamental principles and modelling of the electrical generator and power electronic systems used in large wind turbines. It also discusses how they interact with the power system and the influence of wind turbines on power system operation and stability. Key features: * Includes a comprehensive account of power electronic equipment used in wind turbines and for their grid connection. * Describes enabling technologies which facilitate the connection of large-scale onshore and offshore wind farms. * Provides detailed modelling and control of wind turbine systems. * Shows a number of simulations and case studies which explain the dynamic interaction between wind power and conventional generation.

NOTE EDITORE

This book introduces power electronic technology for the control and modelling of fixed- and variable-speed wind turbines, induction and synchronous generators. The authors supply a steady-state, transient and dynamic stability analysis of mixed power systems, including power system stabilisers for DFIG-based and FSIG-based wind farms. The book includes a coherent discussion on the influence of structural dynamics on wind turbine modelling, control and operation in detail. The control philosophies and schemes that enable the reliable and cost-effective operation of these generation systems are examined, and wind farm integration is described. A unique feature of this book is a step-by-step implementation of a generic network that includes models of conventional synchronous generation and induction generator-based wind farms, with their controllers in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Examples and tutorials are included in an appendix which will guide students and other readers on how to use the models and control techniques presented.
