Control of Wind Turbine Systems, 2nd Edition addresses the growing operational and control challenges posed by the rapid expansion of wind energy and the increasing size of wind turbines. These challenges span all components of wind turbine systems and require an integrated approach to optimize safety, cost, structural integrity, and system survivability while maintaining high performance.
This book serves as a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers in mechatronics and control, as well as manufacturers of wind farm equipment and turbine systems. It presents both theoretical and practical techniques essential for wind turbine control, including load analysis, control strategies, health diagnosis and monitoring, and fuzzy fault-tolerant control.
The new edition features revised and entirely new chapters covering the latest advances in the field, applicable to both small and large turbines. Topics include:
-
Numerical and experimental tools for turbine load analysis
-
Health monitoring techniques
-
Control methodologies
-
Transformer models and power prediction
-
Robust fuzzy fault-tolerant control
-
Use of digital twins for system simulation and optimization
