Enhanced Power Grid Stability Using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators

Enhanced Power Grid Stability Using Doubly-Fed Induction Generators addresses the latest schemes, modeling, and control strategies for improving variable speed wind turbines. Throughout this book, simulations are carried out using modern software packages to model different types of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults for transient stability analysis and modeling techniques for wind turbine power systems.

Key features:

• •
  

  Discusses doubly-fed induction generators, fault ride through, and other concepts for improving stability of power grids

• •
  

  Addresses grid performance—a necessary but often overlooked consideration in renewable power resources

• •
  

  Demonstrates various approaches and appropriate control strategies which can be very effective to stabilize a grid connected wind farm

Engineers and professionals involved in the construction and design of power grids and wind farms will find this a valuable resource. This book is also for professors and graduate students in electrical engineering and policy makers and advocates involved in renewable energy.
