There are a good deal of vantages of solar energy. Just consider the vantages of solar energy over that of oil:
· Solar energy is a renewable resource. Although we cannot employ the power of the sun at night or on stormy, cloudy days, etc., we may count on the sun being there the next day, ready to give us more energy and light. As long as we have the sun, we may have solar energy (and on the day that we no longer have the sun, you may believe that we will no longer have ourselves, either).
· Oil, on the other hand, is not renewable. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yes, we may find another source to tap, but that source may run out, as well.
· Solar cells are completely silent. They may extract energy from the sun without making a peep. Now imagine the noise that the giant machines employed to drill for and pump oil make!
· Solar energy is non-polluting. Of all vantages of solar energy over that of oil, this is, perhaps, the most important. The burning of oil releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and carcinogens into the air.
· Solar cells require very little maintenance (they have no moving elements that will need to be fixed), and they last a long time.
· Although solar panels or solar lights, etc., may be highpriced to buy at the onset, you may save cash in the long run. After all, you do not have to recompense for energy from the sun. On the other hand, all of us are conscious of the rising cost of oil.
· Solar powered lights and other solar powered merchandise are also very easy to install. You do not even need to worry regarding wires.
As you may see, there are some vantages of solar energy. The vantages of solar energy range from benefiting your pocketbook to benefiting the environment. There are actually only a few features of solar energy that may be considered disadvantages.
Here are the disfavors of solar energy:
· Solar cells/panels, etc. may be very expensive.
· Solar power can not be developed at night.
As you may see the vantages of solar energy create a much longer list that the disadvantages, and the disfavors are things that may be bettered as technology improves.
Optimal Control Wind Energy Systems
Covering all distinct features of this crucial topic, this work presents a review of the main control issues in wind power generation, providing a unified picture of the issues surrounding it is optimal control. Discussion is concentered on a international dynamic optimization approach to wind power schemes using a set of optimization criteria which comply with a comprehensive group of necessaries including: energy conversion efficiency; mechanical reliability; and quality of the energy provided.

| From the Back CoverOwing to the stochastic nature of their necessary energy source, workable performance of wind energy conversion schemes cannot be achieved without the contribution of automatic control. Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems presents a thoroughgoing review of the main control issues in wind power generation, supplying a united picture of the issues in optimal control of wind power generation. A series of optimal control proficiencies are analyzed, assessed and compared, starting with the classical ones, like PI control, greatest or most complete or best possible power point schemes and gain-scheduling techniques, and continuing with a great deal of modern ones: sliding-mode techniques, feedback linearization control and robust control. Discussion is concentered on a international dynamic optimization approach to wind power schemes using a set of optimization criteria which comply with a comprehensive group of requisites including: energy conversion efficiency; mechanical reliability; and quality of the energy provided. The main results are staged along with illustration by case studies and MATLAB®/Simulink® simulation assessment. The matching programmes and block diagrams may be downloaded from the book’s page at springer.com. For a good deal of of the case studies presented, real-time simulation results are also available, illustrative examples which will be utile in easing technology transfer in control engineering related with wind power systems. Control engineers, researchers and graduate students fascinated in learning and applying systematic optimization procedures to wind power systems will find this a most utile guide to the field.
About the AuthorThe writers are with the Advanced Control System Research Centre at “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania. Their exploration interests are in the domainname of static and dynamic optimizations, with a focus on dynamic system optimal control. The interest in the control of the wind energy conversion schemes dates back to 1993. Iulian Munteanu received a B.Eng. degree in employed electronics from “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania in 1996, a M.Sc. degree in instrumentation and control from Université du Havre in France in 1997 and a Ph.D. degree in automatic control systems from “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania in 2006, by defending a dissertation on the optimal control of wind power systems. From 1998 he is with the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications from “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania. Between 2000 and 2005 he has had three doctoral stages at Laboratoire d’Électrotechnique de Grenoble in France, where he has worked on controlling the variable-speed asynchronous-machine-based wind power systems. He has authored and co-authored 1 book, 7 exploration reports, when it comes to 10 papers at global conferences and 5 papers in global journals. At the present he is a post-doctoral researcher at Grenoble Génie Électrique Laboratory in France. Antoneta Iuliana Bratcu received a M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from “Dunarea de Jos University of Galati in Romania in 1996 and a doctoral degree in automatic control and computer science from Université de Franche-Comté de Besançon in France in 2001. Her exploration interests include both discrete and neverending optimization. Between 2002 and 2005 she has had two post-doctoral stages respectively at Université de Technologie de Troyes and École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint Étienne in France. She has authored and co-authored 2 books, 3 exploration reports, more than 25 papers at international conferences and 9 papers in global journals. In 2007 she joined the Department of Electrical Energy Conversion Systems from “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania, where she is an associate professor. She is presently working as a post-doctoral researcher at Grenoble Génie Électrique Laboratory in France. Nicolas-Antonio Cutululis received a M.Sc. degree in modern automatic control and artificial intelligence and a Ph.D. degree in automatic control systems, both from “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati in Romania in 1999 and 2005 respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation thesis worries the design of control schemes for hybrid wind energy conversion systems. He has authored and co-authored 1 book, 5 exploration reports, 5 papers at global conferences and 7 papers in global journals. From 1999 he joined the Department of Electrical Energy Conversion Systems at “Dunarea de Jos University of Galati in Romania. At the present he is a scientist with the Wind Energy Department at Risø National Laboratory in Denmark. Emil Ceanga received a M.Sc. degree in electronics and a Ph.D. degree in automatic control systems, both from Bucharest Polytechnic Institute in Romania, in 1961 and 1969 respectively. Between 1993 and 2004 he has been five times visiting professor at Groupe de Recherche en Automatique et Électrotechnique at Université du Havre in France and one time visiting professor at Université du Québec à Rimouski in Canada. In 2004 he received the distinction “Palmes Académiques” from the French Government. He has advised 15 Ph.D. dissertations and has authored and co-authored 15 books and more than 130 papers at international conferences and in global journals. Between 2001 and 2006 he was Director of the Advanced Control System Research Centre at “Dunarea de Jos University of Galati in Romania. He is presently a professor of electrical technology at the Department of Electrical Energy Conversion Systems at the same university.
