In order to optimise the yield of wind power from existing and future wind plants, the entire breadth of the system of a plant, from the wind field to the turbine components, needs to be modelled in the design process. The modelling and simulation approaches used in each subsystem as well as the system-wide solution methods to optimize across subsystem boundaries are described in this reference. Chapters are written by technical experts in each field, describing the current state of the art in modelling and simulation for wind plant design. This comprehensive, two-volume research reference will provide long-lasting insight into the methods that will need to be developed for the technology to advance into its next generation.

Wind Power Modelling: Power plants and grid integration is the third book in a comprehensive three-volume set on wind farm power modelling; the key to efficient wind plant design and wind power growth. The set covers every aspect - from wind flow over turbine component design to grid integration. With chapters from eminent international experts, the set is written for researchers in academia and industry involved with all facets of wind power modelling. Covering generation, storage technologies and grid models, this volume will be of particular interest to practitioners in the utilities sector.
