This course introduces
the control methods used in renewable energy sources. Control of solar power
systems, control of wind turbines, and control of switched power converters for
the grid integration of renewable energy. Power electronic technologies (such
as various converters and inverters). Maximum power extraction and optimal
power generation, mechanical load reduction, vibration suppression, reduction
of losses in AC/DC/AC conversion, suppression of unwanted current harmonics,
system stability and fault ride-through, load sharing
