The second edition of the highly acclaimed Wind Power in
Power Systems has been thoroughly revised and expanded to
reflect the latest challenges associated with increasing wind power
penetration levels. Since its first release, practical experiences
with high wind power penetration levels have significantly
increased. This book presents an overview of the lessons learned in
integrating wind power into power systems and provides an outlook
of the relevant issues and solutions to allow even higher wind
power penetration levels. This includes the development of standard
wind turbine simulation models. This extensive update has 23 brand
new chapters in cutting-edge areas including offshore wind farms
and storage options, performance validation and certification for
grid codes, and the provision of reactive power and voltage control
from wind power plants.

Key features:

* Offers an international perspective on integrating a high
penetration of wind power into the power system, from basic network
interconnection to industry deregulation;

* Outlines the methodology and results of European and North
American large-scale grid integration studies;

* Extensive practical experience from wind power and power system
experts and transmission systems operators in Germany, Denmark,
Spain, UK, Ireland, USA, China and New Zealand;

* Presents various wind turbine designs from the electrical
perspective and models for their simulation, and discusses industry
standards and world-wide grid codes, along with power quality
issues;

* Considers concepts to increase penetration of wind power in
power systems, from wind turbine, power plant and power system
redesign to smart grid and storage solutions.

Carefully edited for a highly coherent structure, this work
remains an essential reference for power system engineers,
transmission and distribution network operator and planner, wind
turbine designers, wind project developers and wind energy
consultants dealing with the integration of wind power into the
distribution or transmission network. Up-to-date and comprehensive,
it is also useful for graduate students, researchers, regulation
authorities, and policy makers who work in the area of wind power
and need to understand the relevant power system integration
issues.

Rezensionen

"...a very well-edited update to the previous edition,
which was already one of the more thorough overviews of wind
integration issues." (IEEE Power & Energy
Magazine, 1 November 2013)
