Wind energy generation: modelling and control

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.
