Description
Contents
Wind Energy: An Introduction covers wind energy system types, operation, modeling, analysis, integration, and control. Beginning with a history of the development of wind energy, this comprehensive book:
Explains the aerodynamic theories that govern the operation of wind turbines
Presents wind energy statistics to address the stochastic nature of wind speed
Employs the statistical modeling of wind speed to evaluate sites for wind energy generation
Highlights the differences between the most common types of wind turbines
Analyzes the main power electronic circuits used in wind energy
Details the induction, synchronous, and permanent magnet generators from the basic principle of induced voltage to the steady-state and dynamic models
Explores the operation, stability, control, and protection of type 1, 2, 3, and 4 wind turbines
Discusses the main integration challenges of wind energy systems with electric utility systems
Features numerous models, illustrations, real-world examples, and exercise problems
Includes a solutions manual and figure slides with qualifying course adoption
Wind Energy: An Introduction requires a basic knowledge of electric circuit theory, making it an ideal text for students at the senior-undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, the book provides practicing engineers with a handy professional reference.
