The statistical analyses presented are the evaluations obtained from the operational data of wind turbines within the member countries of the European Community and provide information on individual and mean energy production, capacity factors, operational time, failure analysis, economics and energy pay back. The data was obtained from more than 3,500 plants by questionnaire or direct from the national database in the cases of Denmark and The Netherlands. The information is provided for specific time periods, countries, sizes and technology concepts.

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.

This work shows a novel method to characterize the power performance of a wind turbine directly from fluctuating data. In particular, it shows how to evaluate the dynamic responses of the power performance system on fluctuating wind speeds in the range of seconds. The approach is based on the stochastic differential equations known as the Langevin equations of diffusive Markov processes, which decomposes the fluctuating power production of wind turbines into their deterministic relaxation and stochastic-force (noise) contains. The operated steady-states of the complex power production system of a wind turbine on turbulent winds can be now properly reconstructed. The method is universal and not only more accurate than the current standard procedure but it also allows a faster and robust estimation of wind turbine power curves. In addition, the stochastic power output of a wind turbine is analyzed in the response theory.
