Summary

An extensive update on the original best-selling book, this second edition has 23 new chapters including coverage on power storage and standard wind turbine models, with contributions from major wind organisations and wind turbine manufactures This second edition of the highly successful Wind Power in Power Systems has been completely revised throughout to include all the newest developments in the area, including the new standard wind turbine models. Offshore wind farms are given more coverage in this edition to reflect the rising trends in the industry, and for the same reason, storage options have also been focused on in more detail. Major updates to 26 chapters from the first edition in light of the enormous increase in installed capacity over the last 5 years' and emerging research areas. 47% new material including 23 new chapters, covering the topical issue of storage and wind power, and the important development of standard wind turbine models. Features contributions from major wind turbine manufacturers, Eneron, Siemens Wind, GE, Repower and Vestas and major organisations such as EWEA, IEA and UWIG. Substantial international coverage including practical experiences from operators in North America (Texas and California), Spain, Ireland, UK, New Zealand, and China Three new chapters on offshore connections, cable systems and control
