Preface
This book provides fundamental concepts of wind energy conversion systems and discusses grid integration and stability issues, methods of transient stability enhancement and minimization of fluctuations of power, and frequency and voltage of wind generator systems. Recently, electricity generation using wind power has received much attention all over the world. Wind energy is a free, renewable resource, so no matter how much is used today there will still be the same supply in the future. Wind energy is also a source of clean, nonpolluting electricity. Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases.
Induction machines are mostly used as wind generators. However, induction generators have stability ...
