SIZE: 31 MB 874 PAGES Download link:  http://bit.ly/2gFNpUm Preface Effects of environmental, economic, social, political and technical factors have led to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power generation. The incorporation of these generation technologies have led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of generation into the power system network. This book, arranged into six sections, tries to highlight various renewable energy based generation technologies. Section 1 provides a general overview of the wind power technology, where the classification of wind turbines based on generators, power electronic converters, and grid connection is described in detail. In Chapter 1, the fundamentals of wind power systems and their design aspects are presented; the modeling methods ofthe wind phenomenon and turbine mechanical system are described in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents modeling and in...

SIZE: 2 MB 252 PAGES Download link:  http://bit.ly/2eTno2z Preface Growing energy demand and environmental consciousness have re-evoked human interest in wind energy. As a result, wind is the fastest growing energy source in the world today. Policy frame works and action plans have already been formulated at various corners for meeting at least 20 per cent of the global energy demand with new-renewables by 2010, among which wind is going to be the major player. In view of the rapid growth of wind industry, Universities, all around the world, have given due emphasis to wind energy technology in their undergraduate and graduate curriculum. These academic programmes attract students from diversified backgrounds, ranging from social science to engineering and technology. Fundamentals of wind energy conversion, which is discussed in the preliminary chapters of this book, have these students as the target group. Advanced resource analysis tools derived and applied are...
