Wind energy is a reliable and easy-to-maintain electrical power supply. The high installed capacity of today's wind turbines and decreasing plant costs indicate that wind power can be competitive with conventional, more heavily polluting fuels in the long term. This will be a welcome addition to the literature on modern wind turbines and their connection to the grid. Focusing on the electrical engineering aspects of wind energy, this title gives a detailed exploration of electrical and mechanical components and their interdependency, power control and supervision in wind power plants, and the grid integration facility.
