Summary:

For academic researchers, practicing engineers, consultants, and undergraduate and advanced graduate students, Wu (electrical and computer engineering, Ryerson U., Canada) et al. explore the power conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) from an electrical engineering perspective, analyzing wind generators, system configurations, power convertors, control schemes, and dynamic/steady-state performance of various practical systems. They discuss market survey, wind turbine technology, system classifications, costs, and grid codes for wind power integration; the fundamentals of systems; commonly used generators; and various power convertors and characteristics of major WECS, including fixed-speed induction generators, variable-speed squirrel cage induction generators, doubly fed induction generators, and synchronous generator based systems. Case studies and solved problems are provided. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
