The preset Chapter presents the electrical subsystem of a wind turbine. Specifically, the power control, the electrical generator, the power electronics, the grid connection and the lightning protection modules are discussed. The content is targeted to contemporary megawatt (MW) wind turbines. The control system of a wind turbine is presented. Specifically, the supervisory control system and the power production control system are introduced. The power production control comprises of the generator torque control and the pitch control subsystems, the power electronics and the grid connection. Yaw control is also discussed. Finally, the main sensor and actuator manufacturers are briefly presented.
