Onshore Wind Farms

Onshore Wind Farms: Dynamic Stability and Applications in Hydrogen Production offers an up-to-date discussion of new technologies and methods for building wind farms and upgrading existing wind turbines. The effective operation of grid-connected wind farms is quite a challenge for grid operators, largely due to the transient nature of wind energy. This book covers improvements in dynamic performance of a grid in combination with other sources including nuclear power, hydropower, and thermal turbines. It investigates the effects of devices and control strategies that potentially improve wind energy capture and stabilize existing fixed-speed wind turbines in grid-connected wind farms.

This timely book:

• Includes new technology for improved wind turbines
• Features developments for improving the stability of grids that rely on wind power
• Covers applications such as hydrogen fuel production and DC fuel cells

Relevant for researchers and engineers working in wind energy, this book is also suitable for students interested in grid development or other forms of renewable energy. It is also of interest to wind energy policy planners and analysts.
