Wind energy is a cornerstone in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, yet the industry faces significant pressure to lower costs. This creates a strong need to optimize new wind turbines to maximize return on investment, maintain profitability, and support sector growth. Optimization involves selecting the most suitable components and then refining the system as a whole.
The second volume of Wind Turbine System Design focuses on electrical systems, grid integration, control, and monitoring. Written by field experts, the chapters cover topics such as electrical safety, generator and converter design, hardware-in-the-loop testing, turbine control and automation, structural health monitoring, wind farm system control, and integration of local energy systems. This guidance enables readers to make informed, systematic choices when designing optimal turbine systems for specific applications.
Wind Turbine System Design: Volume 2: Electrical Systems, Grid Integration, Control and Monitoring is a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and advanced students involved in wind turbine design, offering a structured approach to these critical components.
