Optimal Control Of Wind Energy Conversion Systems With Doubly Fed Induction Generators

Power Conversion and Control of Wind Energy Systems

The book presents the latest power conversion and control technology in modern wind energy systems. It has nine chapters, covering technology overview and market survey, electric generators and modeling, power converters and modulation techniques, wind turbine characteristics and configurations, and control schemes for fixed- and variable-speed wind energy systems. The book also provides in-depth steady-state and dynamic analysis of squirrel cage induction generator, doubly fed induction generator, and synchronous generator based wind energy systems. To illustrate the key concepts and help the reader tackle real-world issues, the book contains more than 30 case studies and 100 solved problems in addition to simulations and experiments. The book serves as a comprehensive reference for academic researchers and practicing engineers. It can also be used as a textbook for graduate students and final year undergraduate students.

Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems

Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems is a thorough review of the main control issues in wind power generation, covering many industrial application problems. A series of control techniques are analyzed and compared, starting with the classical ones, like PI control and gain-scheduling techniques, and continuing with some modern ones: sliding mode techniques, feedback linearization control and robust control. Discussion is directed at identifying the benefits of a global dynamic optimization approach to wind power systems. The main results are presented and illustrated by case studies and MATLAB®/Simulink® simulation. The corresponding programmes and block diagrams can be downloaded from the book’s page at springer.com. For some of the case studies presented, real-time simulation results are available. Control engineers, researchers and graduate students interested in learning and applying systematic optimization procedures to wind power systems will find this a most useful guide to the field.
