Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air
pollutants or greenhouse gases-and wind energy is a free, renewable
resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind
generators have stability problems similar to the transient
stability of synchronous machines. To minimize power, frequency,
and voltage fluctuations caused by network faults or random wind
speed variations, control mechanisms are necessary. Wind Energy
Systems: Solutions for Power Quality and Stabilization clearly
explains how to solve stability and power quality issues of wind
generator systems.
Covering fundamental concepts of wind energy conversion systems,
the book discusses several means to enhance the transient stability
of wind generator systems. It also explains the methodologies for
minimizing fluctuations of power, frequency, and voltage.
Topics covered include:
- An overview of wind energy and wind energy conversion
systems
- Fundamentals of electric machines and power electronics
- Types of wind generator systems
- Challenges in integrating wind power into electricity
grids
- Solutions for power quality problems
- Methods for improving transient stability during network
faults
- Methods for minimizing power fluctuations of variable-speed
wind generator systems
This accessible book helps researchers and engineers understand
the relative effectiveness of each method and select a suitable
tool for wind generator stabilization. It also offers students an
introduction to wind energy conversion systems, providing insights
into important grid integration and stability issues.
