Presenting the latest developments in the field, Wind Energy
Systems: Control Engineering Design offers a novel take on advanced
control engineering design techniques for wind turbine
applications. The book introduces concurrent quantitative
engineering techniques for the design of highly efficient and
reliable controllers, which can be used to solve the most critical
problems of multi-megawatt wind energy systems. This book is based
on the authors' experience during the last two decades designing
commercial multi-megawatt wind turbines and control systems for
industry leaders, including NASA and the European Space Agency.
This work is their response to the urgent need for a truly reliable
concurrent engineering methodology for the design of advanced
control systems. Outlining a roadmap for such a coordinated
architecture, the authors consider the links between all aspects of
a multi-megawatt wind energy project, in which the wind turbine and
the control system must be cooperatively designed to achieve an
optimized, reliable, and successful system. Look inside for
information about the QFT Control Toolbox for Matlab, the software
developed by the author to facilitate the QFT robust control design
(see also the link at codypower.com). The textbook's big-picture
insights can help students and practicing engineers control and
optimize a wind energy system, in which large, flexible,
aerodynamic structures are connected to a demanding variable
electrical grid and work automatically under very turbulent and
unpredictable environmental conditions. The book covers topics
including robust QFT control, aerodynamics, mechanical and
electrical dynamic modeling, economics, reliability, and
efficiency. It also addresses standards, certification,
implementation, grid integration, and power quality, as well as
environmental and maintenance issues.To reinforce understanding,
the authors present real examples of experimentation with
commercial multi-megawatt direct-drive wind turbines, as well as
on-shore, offshore, floating, and airborne wind turbine
applications. They also offer a unique in-depth exploration of the
quantitative feedback theory (QFT)-a proven, successful robust
control technique for real-world applications-as well as advanced
switching control techniques that help engineers exceed classical
linear limitations.
