Author Description

Distributed Optimal Control of Large-Scale Wind Farm Clusters: Optimal Active and Reactive Power Control, and Fault Ride Through, a new volume in the Elsevier Wind Energy Engineering series, explores the latest advances in distributed optimal control of large-scale wind farm clusters, also describing distributed optimal control techniques for high voltage ride through (HVRT). Both mathematical formulations and algorithm details are provided, along with MATLAB codes to replicate and implement distributed optimal control schemes. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the operation, control, and integration of wind power plants, wind farms, and electricity grids, both at research and operational levels. Researchers, faculty, scientists, engineers, R&D, and other industry professionals, as well as graduate and postgraduate students studying and working in wind energy will find this comprehensive resource a valuable addition to their work.
