Printedonacid-freepaper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Solar PV and wind energy is an integral part of different renewable energy resources,ingeneral,and,inparticular,itisthemainandcontinuousinputvariable from the practically inexhaustible sun. Solar energy is expected to play a very significant role in the future especially in developing countries, but it also has potentialindeveloped countries.Overthepastfewyears,windenergyhasshown thefastestrateofgrowthofanyformofelectricitygenerationwithitsdevelopment stimulated by concerns of national policy makers over climate change, energy diversity and security of supply. The material presented in this book has been chosen to provide a comprehensive account of solar energy modeling methods basedonMATLAB/SIMULINK. The book is intended for later year undergraduate, post-graduate and research studentsinterestedinunderstandingthemodelingandcontroloflargewindturbine generatorsbasedonMATLAB/SIMULINK.Itstartswithareviewoftheprinciples ofoperation,modeling andcontrol ofthecommon solar energyand windgenera- tion systems and then moves on to discuss grid compatibility, power quality issues and hybrid models of solar PV and Wind Energy Conversion Systems. MATLAB/SIMULINK models of fuel cell technology and their converters are discussed in detail. The impact of soft computing techniques such as neural networks,fuzzylogic,andgeneticalgorithmsintheareaofsolarandwindenergy isexplainedwithpracticalimplementationusingMATLAB/SIMULINKmodels.
