The second edition of the highly acclaimed Wind Power inPower Systems has been thoroughly revised and expanded toreflect the latest challenges associated with increasing wind powerpenetration levels. Since its first release, practical experienceswith high wind power penetration levels have significantlyincreased. This book presents an overview of the lessons learned inintegrating wind power into power systems and provides an outlookof the relevant issues and solutions to allow even higher windpower penetration levels. This includes the development of standardwind turbine simulation models. This extensive update has 23 brandnew chapters in cutting-edge areas including offshore wind farmsand storage options, performance validation and certification forgrid codes, and the provision of reactive power and voltage controlfrom wind power plants.
Key features:
* Offers an international perspective on integrating a highpenetration of wind power into the power system, from basic networkinterconnection to industry deregulation;
* Outlines the methodology and results of European and NorthAmerican large-scale grid integration studies;
* Extensive practical experience from wind power and power systemexperts and transmission systems operators in Germany, Denmark,Spain, UK, Ireland, USA, China and New Zealand;
* Presents various wind turbine designs from the electricalperspective and models for their simulation, and discusses industrystandards and world-wide grid codes, along with power qualityissues;
* Considers concepts to increase penetration of wind power inpower systems, from wind turbine, power plant and power systemredesign to smart grid and storage solutions.
Carefully edited for a highly coherent structure, this workremains an essential reference for power system engineers,transmission and distribution network operator and planner, windturbine designers, wind project developers and wind energyconsultants dealing with the integration of wind power into thedistribution or transmission network. Up-to-date and comprehensive,it is also useful for graduate students, researchers, regulationauthorities, and policy makers who work in the area of wind powerand need to understand the relevant power system integrationissues.
