Wind energy is now the world's fastest growing energy source. In the past 10 years  the global
wind energy capacity has increased rapidly. The installed global wind power capacity has grown
to 47.317 GW from about 3.5 GW in 1994. The global wind power industry installed 7976 MW in
2004  an increase in total installed generating capacity of 20%. The phenomenal growth in the
wind energy industry can be attributed to the concerns to the environmental issues  and
research and development of innovative cost-reducing technologies. Denmark is a leading
producer of wind turbines in the world  with an almost 40% share of the total worldwide
production. The wind energy industry is a giant contributor to the Danish economy. In Denmark 
the 3117 MW (in 2004) wind power is supplied by approximately 5500 wind turbines. Individuals
and cooperatives own around 80% of the capacity. Denmark will increase the percentage of energy
produced from wind to 25% by 2008  and aims for a 50% wind share of energy production by 2025.
Wind technology has improved significantly over the past two decades  and almost all of the
aspects related to the wind energy technology are still under active research and development.
However  this monograph will introduce some basics of the electrical and power electronic
aspects involved with modern wind generation systems  including modern power electronics and
converters  electric generation and conversion systems for both fixed speed and variable speed
systems  control techniques for wind turbines  configurations of wind farms  and the issues of
integrating wind turbines into power systems. P
