This book was released on 2010 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable energy is becoming more important all over the world, and wind energy is the most important role in renewable energy right now. Many countries are producing and building wind turbines, and the turbine size is becoming larger. The larger a turbine is, the more expensive it will be. However, wind turbines will fail when overspeeding. So we need control algorithms to protect the turbine and to develop power output efficiency. The study concerns the implementation of adaptive control on a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). Adaptive control in Region 3 (for protecting the wind turbine) has been considered by Dr. Mark J Balas and Dr. Susan Frost. This thesis focuses on the implementation of adaptive control in Region 2 (for developing the power output efficiency) and the Transition Region between Region 2 and Region 3. For Region 2, Adaptive Disturbance Tracking Control (DTC) with a certain tracking ratio will ensure the wind turbine has maximum power capture. Using the same Adaptive DTC in the Transition Region, but with a switching mechanism for different tracking ratios, the wind turbine will have smooth performance for connecting Region 2 and Region 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The depletion of global fossil fuel reserves combined with mounting environmental concerns has served to focus attention on the development of ecologically compatible and renewable alternative sources of energy. Wind energy, with its impressive growth rate of 40% over the last five years, is the fastest growing alternate source of energy in the world since its purely economic potential is complemented by its great positive environmental impact. The wind turbine, whether it may be a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) or a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), offers a practical way to convert the wind energy into electrical or mechanical energy. Although this book focuses on the aerodynamic design and performance of VAWTs based on the Darrieus concept, it also discusses the comparison between HAWTs and VAWTs, future trends in design and the inherent socio-economic and environmental friendly aspects of wind energy as an alternate source of energy.

Book excerpt: Wind power took on a leading role as the primary power source during the expected realization of carbon neutrality. Currently, large horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have become mainstream, progressing toward further increasing their size, which is not easy. For floating offshore wind turbines, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), in which the tilt of the axis of rotation is not an issue, could be superior to HAWTs. There has also been a possibility to increase the output power of small VAWTs via proximity arrangement, which could lead to small VAWT wind farms utilizing land more effectively. Furthermore, owing to the inherent characteristics of VAWTs, i.e., no wind direction dependence resulting in a simple structure, low-cost wind power generation equipment can be developed, regardless of the size and application of the VAWT. As we move toward a carbon-free society, it is important to investigate various possibilities of VAWTs. Therefore, this Special Issue collected original papers on various topics related to VAWTs. The collected papers are classified into four groups, including four papers related to the interaction among rotors in wind turbine clusters, four papers related to the optimization of rotor shape/construction (using machine learning, deflection or end plates, and the gap between the main blade and arm), one paper related to the effects of the rotor axis's inclination on the offshore floating VAWT performance, and one paper related to the life cycle assessment. Our aim is for this Special Issue to contribute to the practical application of vertical-axis wind turbines.
