Due to the environmental and economical concerns, it is expected that a huge number of wind farms are going to be connected with the existing networks in the near future. However, the wind being intermittent sources of power, cannot meet the load demand all of the time. Wherever intermittent power sources reach high levels of grid penetration, energy storage becomes one option to provide reliable energy supplies. Therefore, this book deals with different approaches to stabilize a grid-connected wind farm.Among the various energy storage devices SMES is one of the options to provide reliable and fast response energy to the grid. These devices can help to make renewable energy more smooth and reliable, though the power output cannot be controlled by the grid operators. They can also balance micro grids to achieve a good match between generation and load demand. Also, it can significantly improve the load availability, a key requirement for any power system. The energy storage, therefore, is a desired feature to incorporate with renewable power systems, particularly in stand alone power plants. Thus this book investigates different methods to use SMES for stabilizing windfarm.

Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases—and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind generators have stability problems similar to the transient stability of synchronous machines. To minimize power, frequency, and voltage fluctuations caused by network faults or random wind speed variations, control mechanisms are necessary. Wind Energy Systems: Solutions for Power Quality and Stabilization clearly explains how to solve stability and power quality issues of wind generator systems. Covering fundamental concepts of wind energy conversion systems, the book discusses several means to enhance the transient stability of wind generator systems. It also explains the methodologies for minimizing fluctuations of power, frequency, and voltage. Topics covered include: An overview of wind energy and wind energy conversion systems Fundamentals of electric machines and power electronics Types of wind generator systems Challenges in integrating wind power into electricity grids Solutions for power quality problems Methods for improving transient stability during network faults Methods for minimizing power fluctuations of variable-speed wind generator systems This accessible book helps researchers and engineers understand the relative effectiveness of each method and select a suitable tool for wind generator stabilization. It also offers students an introduction to wind energy conversion systems, providing insights into important grid integration and stability issues.

The fast growth of wind generation has led to concern about the effect of wind power on the transient stability of the electric grid. New studies must be performed in order to evaluate the behaviour of the wind farms after severe faults and improve the design of the wind farms in an efficient and economical way. Under such circumstances, the most demanding requisite for wind farm is the Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capability. Wind farms connected to high voltage transmission system must stay connected when a voltage dip occurs in the grid, otherwise, the sudden disconnection of great amount of wind power may contribute to the voltage dip, with terrible consequences. Therefore, the dynamic and transient analyses of wind generators are necessary. This book proposes some methods with suitable control strategies for wind power application that helps wind farms to be connected during grid disturbances, achieving the grid code provisions in both steady and transient conditions. The results in this book can be significant in understanding the transient stability phenomena of fixed and variable speed wind turbines and also in designing of wind farms based on transient stability requirements.
