Inhaltsangabe

As environmental concerns have focussed attention on the generation of electricity from clean and renewable sources, wind energy has become the world’s fastest growing energy source. The authors draw on substantial practical experience to address the technical, economic and safety issues inherent in the exploitation of wind power in a competitive electricity market. Presenting the reader with all the relevant background information key to understanding the integration of wind power into the power systems, this leading edge text:

• Presents an international perspective on integrating a high penetration of wind power into the power system
• Offers broad coverage ranging from basic network interconnection issues to industry deregulation and future concepts for wind turbines and power systems
• Discusses wind turbine technology, industry standards and regulations along with power quality issues
• Considers future concepts to increase the penetration of wind power in power systems
• Presents models for simulating wind turbines in power systems
• Outlines current research activities

Essential reading for power engineers, wind turbine designers, wind project development and wind energy consultants dealing with the integration of wind power systems into distribution and transmission networks, this text would also be of interest to network engineers working for power utility companies dealing with interconnection issues and graduate students and researchers in the field of wind power and power systems.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Experience, solutions and methods for the integration of wind power into power networks.

Wind energy has become the fastest growing energy source worldwide. Wind Power in Power Systems presents the background information and international experience needed to understand the issues related to the integration of a significant amount of wind power in to existing power systems.

Containing contributions from global professional and academic experts, this book features:

• Extensive coverage of basic network interconnection issues, current research activities and the economic aspects of wind energy integration.
• Analyses of current wind turbine technology and related power quality issues.
• Comparisons of international grid codes for the interconnection of wind farms to the power system.
• Discussions of special issues such as wind speed forecasting, wind-diesel systems, transmission systems for offshore wind farms and the use of hydrogen as a means of balancing wind power production
• Models of wind turbines and wind farms for dynamic simulations of wind power in power systems.
• Future concepts for increasing wind power penetration levels.

Wind Power in Power Systems is essential reading for power engineers, wind turbine designers, wind project developers and wind energy consultants dealing with the integration of wind power into the distribution or transmission network. This book will also be of interest to graduate students, researchers, regulation authorities and policy makers who work in the area of wind power and need to understand the relevant power system integration issues.
