Download citation file:
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.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First of all, I would like to thank God and my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Williams Okedu, and my entire family. I would also like to thank my wife (Imonina Blessing Okedu-Kenneth) and daughter (Imonisa Ambless Okedu-Kenneth) for their understanding. I extend my gratitude to my Ph.D. supervisor, Professor Junji Tamura of the Kitami Institute of Technology, Hokkaido, Japan, and my post-doctoral mentors, Professor Tayo Akinwande and Professor James Kirtley, both of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, Boston, USA. A big thanks to the staffers of the American Institute of Physics Publishing (AIPP), Dr. Benjamin Johnson, and Ms. Claire Gordon, for their immense efforts and contributions in publishing this book.
