Introduction -- 1. Wind energy conversion -- 2. Modern power electronics and converter systems -- 2.1. Power electronic devices -- 2.2. Power electronic converters -- 3. Generator systems for wind turbines -- 3.1. Fixed-speed wind turbines -- 3.2. Variable-speed wind turbines -- 3.3. Summary of wind turbine-generator systems -- 4. Control of wind turbines -- 4.1. Active stall wind turbine with cage rotor induction generators -- 4.2. Variable pitch angle control with doubly fed generators -- 4.3. Full rated power electronic interface wind turbine systems -- 5. Electrical topologies of wind farms based on different wind turbines -- 6. Integration of wind turbines into power systems -- 6.1. Requirements of wind turbine grid integration -- 6.2. Voltage quality assessment -- Conclusion -- References -- The authors.
Summary: Wind energy is now the world's fastest growing energy source. In the past 10 years, the global wind energy capacity has increased rapidly. The installed global wind power capacity has grown to 47.317GW from about 3.5GW in 1994. The global wind power industry installed 7976 MW in 2004, an increase in total installed generating capacity of 20%. The phenomenal growth in the wind energy industry can be attributed to the concerns to the environmental issues, and research and development of innovative cost-reducing technologies.

Wind energy is now the world's fastest growing energy source. In the past 10 years, the global wind energy capacity has increased rapidly. The installed global wind power capacity has grown to 47.317GW from about 3.5GW in 1994. The global wind power industry installed 7976 MW in 2004, an increase in total installed generating capacity of 20%. The phenomenal growth in the wind energy industry can be attributed to the concerns to the environmental issues, and research and development of innovative cost-reducing technologies.
