Wind Energy Systems: Control Engineering Design

Presenting the latest developments in the field of advanced control engineering design techniques for wind turbines applications, this book introduces engineering techniques to design efficient and reliable controllers for the most critical problems of multi-megawatt wind energy systems. It describes large flexible structures that are working under very turbulent and unpredictable environmental conditions and that are subject to a variable and demanding electrical grid. Exemplifying how to achieve future control challenges in new energy systems, the text also explores advanced quantitative robust and switching control techniques for critical state-of-the-art space missions.
