Riassunto:

Wind Power Integration provides a wide-ranging discussion on all major aspects of wind power integration into electricity supply systems. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to take account of the significant growth in wind power deployment in the past few years. New discussions have been added to describe developments in wind turbine generator technology and control, the network integration of wind power, innovative ways to integrate wind power when its generation potential exceeds 50% of demand, case studies on how forecasting errors have affected system operation, and an update on how the wind energy sector has fared in the marketplace. Topics covered include: the development of wind power technology and its world-wide deployment; wind power technology and the interaction of various wind turbine generator types with the utility network; and wind power forecasting and the challenges faced by wind energy in modern electricity markets.

This comprehensive text requires no specialist knowledge. It will appeal to engineers from various disciplines looking for an overview of a technology that is providing a major impetus for sustainable electricity supply in the twenty-first century. Researchers, advanced postgraduate students in renewable energy and design engineers working with wind power devices will also benefit from this book.

L'autore:

Brendan Fox and Damian Flynn of Queen's University Belfast set up a network in 2000 on Bringing Large-scale Operation of Wind Into Networks and Grids (BLOWING). The BLOWING workshops brought together further experts who have also contributed to the book. Leslie Bryans is at Northern Ireland Electricity she is very experienced in network planning for rapid wind power expansion. Nick Jenkins from University of Manchester is an expert in all aspects of wind energy development. David Milborrow is a consultant who has been promoting large-scale wind power since the 1970s. Mark O'Malley and Rick Watson of University College Dublin have been active in power systems and wind power research over the past decade. Olimpo Anaya-Lara of the University of Strathclyde has provided an overview of variable-speed wind turbine development.
