This popular reference describes the integration ofwind–generated power into electrical power systems and, with theuse of advanced control systems, illustrates how wind farms can bemade to operate like conventional power plants. Fully revised, the third edition provides up–to–date coverage onnew generator developments for wind turbines, recent technicaldevelopments in electrical power conversion systems, control designand essential operating conditions. With expanded coverage ofoffshore technologies, this edition looks at the characteristicsand static and dynamic behaviour of offshore wind farms and theirconnection to the mainland grid. This resource is an excellent guide for researchers andpractitioners involved in the planning, installation and gridintegration of wind turbines and power plants. It is also highlybeneficial to university students studying wind power technology,renewable energy and power systems, and to practitioners in windengineering, turbine design and manufacture and electrical powerengineering.
