WIND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

"Wind Electrical Systems provides an integrated and comprehensive treatment of wind energy conversion without assuming any background of the subject. Beginning with the basics of wind energy, the book goes on to discuss conversion of wind energy into electrical energy, wind energy integration with the local grid, stand-alone generation and consumption, and variable-speed wind generators. The book ends with a discussion of hybrid power systems where wind energy in integrated with another energy source such as solar energy or diesel generators to provide reliable power." "With its wide inter-disciplinary coverage, the book would serve as an indispensable text for students of electrical, mechanical, and energy engineering as well as practising engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
