Synopsis

With the rapid growth of wind energy worldwide, and the increasing size of wind turbine systems, addressing challenges in their operation and control is becoming increasingly important. These challenges affect all components of wind turbine systems, and require an integrated approach to optimize safety, cost, structural integrity and system survivability, while maintaining the desired performance quality.

This book has established itself as a reliable reference for researchers and engineers in mechatronics and control, specifically for wind power, as well as for manufacturers of wind farm equipment and turbine systems. It conveys theoretical and practical techniques that are instrumental for the control of wind turbine systems, such as load analysis, control concepts, health diagnosis and monitoring, and fuzzy fault tolerant control.

The new edition features revised as well as all-new chapters covering recent advances in the field, on both small turbines and large systems. Topics include numerical and experimental tools for turbine load analysis, health monitoring, control, transformer models, power prediction, robust fuzzy fault tolerant control, and use of digital twins.
