"This weather forecast calls for power! Readers will learn about humanity's long history of harnessing wind energy, journeying on boats along the Nile River, past windmills pumping water in ancient China, all the way to modern-day floating wind farms off the coast of Norway"--Provided by publisher.

This book covers the modeling of wind power and application of modern control methods to the wind power control--specifically the models of type 3 and type 4 wind turbines. The modeling aspects will help readers to streamline the wind turbine and wind power plant modeling, and reduce the burden of power system simulations to investigate the impact of wind power on power systems. The use of modern control methods will help technology development, especially...

This book provides current research-focused text on all aspects of wind energy engineering, including the present state of wind integration and distribution worldwide, assessment of the advances in turbine technology, and how the investment, planning, and economic infrastructure can support those innovations. It also provides analysis of the latest high-level research and explores real world application potential in relation to the developments.
