Model Predictive Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems

The authors provide a comprehensive analysis from the electrical engineering aspect of power converters, wind energy systems and predictive control employed in a wide variety of conversion systems. The content of the book includes an overview of wind energy system configurations, power converters and predictive control; modeling and control of grid-connected two-level and multilevel voltage source converters; and predictive control of standalone three-leg and four-leg converters with an output LC filter. It also explores predictive control of several power converter configurations for the full variable-speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) based WECS, and semi variable-speed doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based WECS; and low voltage ride-through operation of PMSG and IG WECS.

Reflecting the latest technologies in the field, Model Predictive Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems is a valuable reference for academic researchers, practicing engineers, and other professionals. It can also be used as a textbook for graduate-level and advanced undergraduate courses.
