This book provides a detailed exploration of wind energy, covering its historical evolution, technological advancements, and its increasing role in the global energy transition. As fossil fuel sustainability concerns grow, wind energy emerges as a key renewable alternative. The book is structured into three chapters: the first highlights the significance of wind energy, its applications, and its contribution to global energy needs. The second delves into the modeling of wind turbines and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs), presenting essential mathematical formulations. The third chapter examines control strategies for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), comparing Proportional-Integral (PI) control, Sliding Mode Control (SMC), and Improved Third-Order Sliding Mode Control (ITOSTC). Special emphasis is given to ITOSTC for enhancing efficiency and grid stability. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals, bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications to advance sustainable wind energy solutions.
