  • More about Control of Large Wind Energy Systems: Theory and Methods for the User


Control of Large Wind Energy Systems provides an extended treatment of different control topics divided into three thematic parts, including modelling, control, and implementation. It includes examples and a case study to illustrate the parametrization of models, the control systems design with problems and solutions, and advice for the selection of control laws. It also covers methodologies such as fractional order PID and nonlinear PID for pitch control, peak shaving control, and extremum seeking control.

Wind energy systems play a pivotal role in the realm of renewable energy generation, and their technological advancements are ongoing. While maintaining a theoretical foundation, Control of Large Wind Energy Systems delves into the practical implementation of control systems for modern wind turbines. It explains the rationale behind choices and decisions, offering an in-depth treatment of various control topics across three thematic sections: modeling, control, and implementation. The book addresses real-life challenges such as multi-parameter tuning, curve fitting, and filter design for concrete signals. It includes examples and a case study to illustrate model parametrization, control systems design, and problem-solving approaches. Additionally, guidance is provided on selecting control laws, calculating specific parameters, and evaluating control performance using indices and load calculation.

Fractional order PID and nonlinear PID for pitch control, peak shaving control, and extremum seeking control for generator control, yaw control, and shutdown control are among the methodologies covered in Control of Large Wind Energy Systems. This makes it an invaluable resource for postgraduate students, researchers, and industrial engineers specializing in wind turbine control.

Advances in Industrial Control serves as a platform for disseminating innovative control engineering technologies. The rapid progress in control technology has far-reaching implications across the entire control discipline. The series provides researchers with an opportunity to present extended expositions, fostering knowledge exchange and advancing the field.
