Nowadays, the increasing environmental issues especially concerning the global warming
have motivated a run for the use of renewable energy sources. Wind energy represents a …

Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems is a thorough review of the main control issues in
wind power generation, covering many industrial application problems. A series of control …

The paper presents a rule-based fuzzy logic controller to control the output power of a pulse
width modulated (PWM) inverter used in a stand-alone wind energy conversion scheme …

This paper discusses the regulation of the voltage and frequency of a stand-alone fixed-pitch
wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on a self-excited squirrel-cage induction …

In this paper a utility interactive wind energy conversion system (WECS) with an
asynchronous (AC–DC–AC) link is described. The control system has the objective of …

The control of a wind energy conversion system can be decomposed into two parts: a local
control depending on the power structure and a global control (strategy) deduced from …

Abstract Progress in Direct Current (DC) power technologies has paved way for the
emergence of DC Nano Grid (NG) as a new research area drawing international attention …

The paper discusses the applications of voltage source inverter (VSI) based power
electronic systems for interfacing variable-voltage DC sources to the grid. A variable-speed …

More and more conversion systems have been proposed to capture wind energy in order to
produce electrical power. In this paper, an energetic macroscopic representation is used to …

This paper addresses the use of variable structure control (ie, sliding mode (SM) control) for
improving the dynamic performance of a low-power wind energy conversion system (WECS) …
