The rapid growth of wind generation has many implications for power
system planning, operation and control. Network development,
voltage rise, protection, monitoring and control are connection
problems common to all wind power generation. Wind Power
Integration: Connection and System Operational Aspects, 2nd edition
has been fully revised and updated to take account of the
significant growth in wind power deployment in the past few years
to provide a wide-ranging discussion on all major aspects of wind
power integration into electricity supply systems. Topics covered
include: the development of wind power technology and its
world-wide deployment a primer in electric power engineering for
non-electrical engineers - which system delivers significant wind
energy to consumers at least cost? wind power technology and the
interaction of various wind turbine generator types with the
utility network utility networks, and how they may be developed to
accept significant wind power how operational practice can be
modified to take account of a variable power source with limited
scope for control wind power forecasting the challenges faced by
wind energy in modern electricity markets This second edition has
been fully revised and updated to take account of the significant
growth in wind power deployment in the past few years. New
discussions have been added to describe developments in wind
turbine generator technology and control, the network integration
of wind power, innovative ways to integrate wind power when its
generation potential exceeds 50% of demand, case studies on how
forecasting errors have affected system operation, and an update on
how the wind energy sector has fared in the marketplace. Wind Power
Integration: Connection and System Operational Aspects, 2nd edition
will appeal to engineers from various disciplines looking for an
overview of a technology that is providing a major impetus for
sustainable electricity supply in the twenty-first century.
The rapid growth of wind generation has many implications for power
system planning, operation and control. This would have been a
considerable challenge for the old nationalised power companies; it
has become an even greater challenge in today's liberalised
electricity markets. Network development, voltage rise, protection,
monitoring and control are connection problems common to all wind
power generation. These issues are addressed through an
understanding of the basic electrical engineering concepts and wind
power technology. When wind power approaches 10 percent of all
generation, it impinges on system operation. The underlying
principles of system balancing are presented, before considering
the impact of many variable generation sources whose outputs are
difficult to predict. Wind power forecasting is crucial to
successful wind power integration, and basic theory and current
practice are considered. Storage can also help but it needs to be
low cost and, ideally, based on intelligent use of existing load.
Finally, electricity markets are explained and the commercial
challenges facing wind power are assessed. The book provides a
wide-ranging discussion on all major aspects of wind power
integration into electricity supply systems. It requires no
specialist knowledge and will appeal to engineers from various
disciplines looking for an overview of a technology that is
providing a major impetus for sustainable electricity supply in the
twenty-first century.
