The book presents the latest power conversion and controltechnology in modern wind energy systems. It has nine chapters,covering technology overview and market survey, electric generatorsand modeling, power converters and modulation techniques, windturbine characteristics and configurations, and control schemes forfixed- and variable-speed wind energy systems. The book alsoprovides in-depth steady-state and dynamic analysis of squirrelcage induction generator, doubly fed induction generator, andsynchronous generator based wind energy systems.To illustrate the key concepts and help the reader tacklereal-world issues, the book contains more than 30 case studies and100 solved problems in addition to simulations and experiments. Thebook serves as a comprehensive reference for academic researchersand practicing engineers. It can also be used as a textbook forgraduate students and final year undergraduate students.
