About the Book

The rapid growth of wind generation has many implications for power system planning, operation and control. This would have been a considerable challenge for the old nationalised power companies; it has become an even greater challenge in today's liberalised electricity markets. Network development, voltage rise, protection, monitoring and control are connection problems common to all wind power generation. These issues are addressed through an understanding of the basic electrical engineering concepts and wind power technology. When wind power approaches 10 percent of all generation, it impinges on system operation. The underlying principles of system balancing are presented, before considering the impact of many variable generation sources whose outputs are difficult to predict. Wind power forecasting is crucial to successful wind power integration, and basic theory and current practice are considered. Storage can also help but it needs to be low cost and, ideally, based on intelligent use of existing load. Finally, electricity markets are explained and the commercial challenges facing wind power are assessed. The book provides a wide-ranging discussion on all major aspects of wind power integration into electricity supply systems. It requires no specialist knowledge and will appeal to engineers from various disciplines looking for an overview of a technology that is providing a major impetus for sustainable electricity supply in the twenty-first century.

About the Author :
Brendan Fox and Damian Flynn of Queen's University Belfast set up a network in 2000 on Bringing Large-scale Operation of Wind Into Networks and Grids (BLOWING). The BLOWING workshops brought together further experts who have also contributed to the book. Leslie Bryans is at Northern Ireland Electricity she is very experienced in network planning for rapid wind power expansion. Nick Jenkins from University of Manchester is an expert in all aspects of wind energy development. David Milborrow is a consultant who has been promoting large-scale wind power since the 1970s. Mark O'Malley and Rick Watson of University College Dublin have been active in power systems and wind power research over the past decade. Olimpo Anaya-Lara of the University of Strathclyde has provided an overview of variable-speed wind turbine development.
