Description
The book presents the latest power conversion and controltechnology in modern wind energy systems. It has nine chapters,covering technology overview and market survey, electric generatorsand modeling, power converters and modulation techniques, windturbine characteristics and configurations, and control schemes forfixed- and variable-speed wind energy systems. The book alsoprovides in-depth steady-state and dynamic analysis of squirrelcage induction generator, doubly fed induction generator, andsynchronous generator based wind energy systems.
To illustrate the key concepts and help the reader tacklereal-world issues, the book contains more than 30 case studies and100 solved problems in addition to simulations and experiments. Thebook serves as a comprehensive reference for academic researchersand practicing engineers. It can also be used as a textbook forgraduate students and final year undergraduate students.

"I highly recommend the essential and very in depth book PowerConversion and Control of Wind Energy Systems by Bin Wu, Ph.D.,Yongqiang Lang, Ph.D., Navid Zargari, Ph.D., and Samir Kouro,Ph.D., to any academics, practicing engineers, consultants,electrical and energy industry executives, government policymakers, and graduate and senior undergraduate students seeking acomplete and comprehensive reference textbook that covers allaspects of wind power conversion and control of wind energyconversion systems (WECS). This is a landmark book that is a mustfor anyone serious about the subject, and about the principles thatunderpin wind energy systems." (Blog Business World, 1 March2012) "Considering that the wind energy is now highly competitive andis being emphasized all over the world, this book is extremelyimportant and very timely. It is expected to be of wide demand inthe world. The book is of unique quality, and no such bookcurrently exists in the market. The primary emphasis of the book ispower conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems. Itgives comprehensive and in-depth analysis on wind generators, powerconverters and control systems of various types of wind generationsystems. There are adequate explanatory materials on differenttypes of wind turbines, and basics of wind energy systems. The bookis very well-organized with physical explanations, mathematicalanalysis, computer simulation, experimental results, and worked-outexamples. There are a large number of worked-out problems at theend of the book which are extremely important. It is a unique bookwith optimal balance of theory and practical discussion. It is acomplete book for designers of wind generation systems and canserve as textbook for undergraduate/graduate courses inuniversities. --Dr. Bimal K.
