"Over the past two decades, a variety of wind power technologies have been developed, which have improved the conversion efficiency of and reduced the the costs for wind energy production write Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ryerson University (Canada), Bin Wu, Ph.D.; Senior Engineer in the State Grid Electric Power Research Institute (China), Yongqiang Lang, Ph.D.; engineer at Medium Voltage Business of Rockwell Automation Canada, Navid Zargari, Ph.D.; and research academic in the Electronics Engineering Department of Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (Chile), Samir Kouro, Ph.D., in their authoritative and comprehensive book Power Conversion and Control of Wind Energy Systems. The authors describe leading edge power conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems (WESC) from the perspective of electrical engineering.
Bin Wu, Yongqiang Lang, Navid Zargari, and Samir Kouro provide a complete overview of the field of power conversion and wind energy control. The authors present a complete examination of wind generators, various system configurations, power converters, and control schemes and systems. The authors also provide an analysis of dynamic and steady state performance of various operating ind energy systems. In the most complete book of its type, on the topic of power conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems (WESC), the authors offer a review of wind energy system fundamentals, and an analysis of the standard and most widely utilized wind generators. The authors also cover the many power converters utilized in the conversion of wind energy; and the characteristics of the most important wind energy conversion systems (WESC).
Bin Wu (photo left), Yongqiang Lang, Navid Zargari, and Samir Kouro provide a logically ordered book that covers the critical areas of wind power generation, power conversion and the various wind energy conversion systems. Among the important WECS considered in the book are the fixed speed induction generator, the doubly fed induction generator, the variable speed squirrel cage induction generator, and the various synchronous generator based systems for wind energy.
The authors cover the important topics involved in both power conversion and control of wind energy systems. The areas considered include:
* Introduction to the overall wind energy generation and conversion systems
* Fundamentals of wind energy conversion system control
* Wind generators and modelling
* Power converters in wind energy conversion systems
* Wind energy system configurations
* Fixed-speed induction generator WECS
* Variable-speed systems with squirrel cage induction generators
* Doubly fed induction generator WECS
* Variable-speed wind energy systems with synchronous generators
For me, the power of the book is how Bin Wu, Yongqiang Lang, Navid Zargari, and Samir Kouro comine both the theoretical foundation of wind energy power conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems (WESC) with practical discussion and application of the principles involved. The major concepts are presented in a complete and will described format, making the book valuable for academics, practicing engineers and consultants, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
The authors offer simulations and experiments to illustrate the principles, and provide a liberal application of charts, graphics, and tables to enrich overall understanding. Another strength of the book is the over thirty case studies of real world examples of the concepts in action. The book also contains over one hundred problems and solutions provided in the book's well designed and very useful appendix. Overall, this is an excellent book that is a landmark text and reference book on the subject material.
I highly recommend the essential and very in depth book Power Conversion and Control of Wind Energy Systems by Bin Wu, Ph.D., Yongqiang Lang, Ph.D., Navid Zargari, Ph.D., and Samir Kouro, Ph.D., to any academics, practicing engineers, consultants, electrical and energy industry executives, government policy makers, and graduate and senior undergraduate students seeking a complete and comprehensive reference textbook that covers all aspects of wind power conversion and control of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). This is a landmark book that is a must for anyone serious about the subject, and about the principles that underpin wind energy systems.
