 Wind Electrical Systems is the first Indian book of its kind specifically addressing the issues of wind-electrical conversion, and with its clear and concise treatment of the issues involved, would benefit both students and professionals in this field.
The book introduces the basics of wind energy, the conversion of wind power into electrical form, its integration with the local grid, issues of stand-alone generation and consumption, variable speed wind generators, and the issues of hybrid power systems where wind energy is integrated with another energy source like solar energy or diesel generators to provide reliable power.
Since it is assumed that the book may be read by engineers with a non-electrical background, the basics of electrical machines and power electronics are also introduced without assuming any prior knowledge other than a few very basics which are covered in all undergraduate curricula irrespective of discipline.
Key Features
- Provides in-depth coverage of topics
- Incorporates contemporary analytical methods to study the steady state as well as dynamic behaviour of wind electrical systems
- Includes recent developments in the area
- Includes a good number of worked out examples and exercise problems to reinforce the concept of wind electric conversion systems
