Optimal control of wind energy systems: towards a global approach

Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems is a thorough review of the main control issues in wind power generation, covering many industrial application problems. A series of control techniques are analyzed and compared, starting with the classical ones, like PI control and gain-scheduling techniques, and continuing with some modern ones: sliding mode techniques, feedback linearization control and robust control. Discussion is directed at identifying the benefits ofa global dynamic optimization approach to wind power systems. The main results are presented and illustrated by case studies and MATLAB®/Simulink® simulation. The corresponding programmes and block diagrams can be downloaded from thebook’s page at springer.com. For some of the case studies presented, real-time simulation results are available. Control engineers, researchers and graduate students interested in learning and applying systematic optimization procedures to wind power systems will find this a most useful guide to the field. Links the practical requirements of industrial wind-based power generation with the latest advanced control algorithms. Helps to make wind power generation feasible, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Compares various methods of optimal control so that readers can make informed choices about which is best for their systems INDICE: Wind Energy.- Wind Energy Conversion Systems.- WECS Modelling.- Basics of Wind Turbine Control Systems.- Design Methods for WECS Optimal Control.- WECS Optimal Control with Mixed Criteria.- Development Systems for Experimental Investigation of WECS Optimal Control Structures.- General Conclusion.- Appendices: Features of WECS Used in Case Studies; Elements of Theoretical Background and Development; Photos, Diagrams and Real-time Captures.
