Wind Power Integration by Brendan Fox

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.

'First published in 2007, this second edition offers substantially updated coverage and discussion of how wind power generation can be built into and operated with today's electricity supply systemsCatering for the broadest audience, there's a general introduction to wind turbine designs and technology, and their development. It also offers a primer on electrical power system theory along with the latest turbine generators and control systems in use, plus basic integration considerations such as voltage maintenance and power quality.'

'The real meat of the book arrives with the operation of wind systems within national power grids, covering areas such as frequency control, energy storage and demand-side management. There's plenty of new detail on network integration, looking at innovative ways to manage wind power when its generation potential exceeds 50 per cent of demand, plus a chapter on the central role of weather forecasting. It considers today's deregulated power markets and support mechanisms, then finishes by discussing future grid codes and how wind will fare in competition with other renewables in the years to come.'
