Wind Power [a review of Grid Integration of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (S. Heier; 2006); book review]

This book contains engineering information about the operating principles, design, and application of wind turbines. Grid integration is covered in much less depth and is largely focused upon issues within the medium-voltage collector systems of multi-unit wind farms. Topics covered include power-electronic converter systems, harmonics, filter design, and protection. The book is well suited as a text or reference book for engineering students or researchers. It would also be very useful to wind turbine designers, who need detailed equations and graphs to understand the intricate technical issues related to energy conversion or turbine components.
