Windenergieanlagen

Technologie – Funktionsweise – Entwicklung

by Kusiek, Arne

Description

Practical introduction to wind energy technology

 

Renewable energy sources are an integral part of today's energy supply. Wind energy is an important component of renewable energy systems. This book shows how modern wind turbines work and what needs to be considered in their development. It is aimed at planners, project planners and developers of these plants, but is also suitable for students of energy and environmental technology and electrical power engineering.

The know-how of all those who want to understand the complete range of their functioning must be as broad as the technical disciplines that are relevant in the development of wind turbines. In 70 questions and answers, this book is devoted to the technology, operation and development of wind turbines. It covers everything from aerodynamics, mechanics and structural dynamics to power electronics and control engineering.

These and other topics are covered:
- What are the components of a wind turbine?
- How are rotor blades constructed?
- What are the tasks of the azimuth and pitch systems?
- What stresses occur in wind turbines?
- How much energy does a wind turbine generate?
- What control loops exist for turbine control? How is the control system structured?
- Which concepts of the electrical drive train have become established?
- Which converters are used in wind turbines and what is their function? How are the synchronous and asynchronous generators used in this process controlled?
- Which guidelines and standards apply to grid connection?

The book takes into account the latest state of the art. Due to the high application reference, all essential core competencies required for the development of wind turbines are taught.
