Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Control systems are a crucial part in all aspects of wind energy generation. Ranging from power electronic converters, wind turbine control, up to farm-level control, from onshore to offshore wind, and integration of wind energy into power systems, the footprint of control systems is evident and in constant improvement.
As the number of wind energy systems increase and diversify worldwide, application of control systems has been used to improve stability, efficiency, adaptability, and lifetime of those systems. Furthermore, modern concepts of wind turbines, such as floating structure, aeroelastic blades, airborne wind, and multi-rotor systems depend on suitable control architectures and design to provide safe and efficient energy output.
Furthermore, the massive penetration of wind energy in power systems brings new challenges regarding complex behaviour of wind power plants and its transmission systems. Nowadays, it expected that large offshore and onshore wind farms become virtual generation plants that behave in a similar way to conventional generation. To achieve this, new farm-level controllers are required to balance the power generation, maintenance, and operation, but also to provide ancillary services to the grid, such as curtailment, frequency support, and voltage regulation.
Considering the importance of control in the progression of wind energy systems, a Special Issue of Energies has been planned to highlight the novel advances in control of wind energy systems. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Power electronic control for wind energy
- Energy conversion
- Wind power integration (HVDC, VSM)
- Fault tolerant control systems
- Modelling and control of wind turbine and wind farm systems
- Fixed and floating structures wind turbines
- Wind farm control systems
- LIDAR-based wind turbine/farm control
- Control system for wind energy with novel concepts
- Multi-rotor wind turbine control
- Airborne wind turbine control
- Aeroelastic tailoring blade wind turbine control.
- Other new developments in of control of wind energy devices
