The book introduces concurrent quantitative engineering techniques for the design of highly efficient and reliable controllers  which can be used to solve the most critical problems of multi-megawatt wind energy systems. This book is based on the authors experience during the last two decades designing commercial multi-megawatt wind turbines and control systems for industry leaders  including NASA and the European Space Agency. This work is their response to the urgent need for a truly reliable concurrent engineering methodology for the design of advanced control systems. Outlining a roadmap for such a coordinated architecture  the authors consider the links between all aspects of a multi-megawatt wind energy project  in which the wind turbine and the control system must be cooperatively designed to achieve an optimized  reliable  and successful system.  Look inside for information about the QFT Control Toolbox for Matlab  the software developed by the author to facilitate the QFT robust control design (see also the link at codypower.com). The textbooks big-picture insights can help students and practicing engineers control and optimize a wind energy system  in which large  flexible  aerodynamic structures are connected to a demanding variable electrical grid and work automatically under very turbulent and unpredictable environmental conditions. The book covers topics including robust QFT control  aerodynamics  mechanical and electrical dynamic modeling  economics  reliability  and efficiency. It also addresses standards  certification  implementation  grid integration  and power quality  as well as environmental and maintenance issues.  To reinforce understanding  the authors present real examples of experimentation with commercial multi-megawatt direct-drive wind turbines  as well as on-shore  offshore  floating  and airborne wind turbine applications. They also offer a unique in-depth exploration of the quantitative feedback theory (QFT)a proven  successful robust control technique for real-world applicationsas well as advanced switching control techniques that help engineers exceed classical linear limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948097404981,"sku":"ByrdShop_1439821798","price":184.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wind-energy-systems-control-engineering-design-9781439821794","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
