Model Predictive Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems addresses
the predicative control strategy that has emerged as a promising digital
control tool within the field of power electronics, variable-speed motor
drives, and energy conversion systems.
The authors provide a comprehensive analysis on the model predictive
control of power converters employed in a wide variety of variable-speed
wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The contents of this book
includes an overview of wind energy system configurations, power
converters for variable-speed WECS, digital control techniques, MPC,
modeling of power converters and wind generators for MPC design. Other
topics include the mapping of continuous-time models to discrete-time
models by various exact, approximate, and quasi-exact discretization
methods, modeling and control of wind turbine grid-side two-level and
multilevel voltage source converters. The authors also focus on the MPC
of several power converter configurations for full variable-speed
permanent magnet synchronous generator based WECS, squirrel-cage
induction generator based WECS, and semi-variable-speed doubly fed
induction generator based WECS. Furthermore, this book:
- Analyzes a wide variety of practical WECS, illustrating important
concepts with case studies, simulations, and experimental results
- Provides a step-by-step design procedure for the development of
predictive control schemes for various WECS configurations
- Describes continuous- and discrete-time modeling of wind generators
and power converters, weighting factor selection, discretization
methods, and extrapolation techniques
- Presents useful material for other power electronic applications such
as variable-speed motor drives, power quality conditioners, electric
vehicles, photovoltaic energy systems, distributed generation, and
high-voltage direct current transmission.
- Explores S-Function Builder programming in MATLAB environment to
implement various MPC strategies through the companion website
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.
