Offshore Wind Energy Generation (eBook)

Edgar Lenymirko Moreno-Goytia, Reader, Instituto Tecnológico de Morelia, MéxicoDr Moreno-Goytia has researched power electronic-based equipment and measurement systems development. He designed and built a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator and its control to operate in a voltage fluctuations environment, and has been involved in evaluating the impact of wind generation on the electrical grid. Dr Moreno-Goytia has published over thirty papers in international conferences and journals and is a member of IEEE and IET. Olimpo Anaya-Lara, Senior Lecturer, Institute for Energy and Environment , University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UKDr Anaya-Lara has researched power electronic equipment, control systems development, and stability and control of power systems with increased wind energy penetration. He has developed control strategies for Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System devices (FACTS), and designed control schemes for marine applications using advanced control techniques. He is a member of the CIGRE Working Group B4-39, two International Energy Agency Annexes, also the IEEE and IET. He has published over thirty-five journals, ninety papers and co-authored three books. David Campos-Gaona, Research Assistant, Instituto Tecnológico de Morelia, MéxicoMr Campos-Gaona has investigated electronics-based solutions to electrical networks such as digital power meters, DSP based protection algorithms, and protection systems for wind turbines. He developed electronic equipment such as residential digital power meter with a wireless communication port. He was a research assistant with the SUPERGEN FlexNet, and is member of the IEEE. He has published several papers and conference proceedings. Grain Philip Adam, Research Fellow, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UKGrain received a Ph.D. degree in power electronics from Strathclyde University in 2007. He is currently with the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Strathclyde University, and his research interests are multilevel inverters, electrical machines and power systems control and stability.
