Helps readers understand and appreciate what the history of wind
power can teach us about technology innovation and provides the
implications for both wind power today and its future This book
takes readers on a journey through the history of wind power in
order to show how the technology evolved over the course of the
twentieth century and where it may be headed in the twenty-first
century. It introduces and examines broad themes such as government
funding of wind power, the role of fossil fuels in wind power
development, and the importance of entrepreneurs in wind power
development. It also discusses the lessons learned from wind power
technology innovation and makes them relevant to the understanding
of wind power today and in the future. Spanning the entire history
of wind power (1888-2018), The Wind Power Story: A Century of
Innovation that Reshaped the Global Energy Landscape provides
balanced coverage of each decade as well as the important wind
power technology innovations that occurred during that time.
Compelling from the first page to the last, it offers chapters
covering the pioneers of wind power; the age of small wind; wind
power in the wake of war; wind power's use across Europe;
government-funded research programs; how Denmark reinvented wind
power in the 1970s; the California Wind Rush of the 1980s; wind
power's rise in Spain; America's wind power starting in the 1990s;
India's wind power path; the wind power surge in China; the
globalization of wind power; and much more. In addition, this text:
Spans the entire global history of wind power, while weaving
together both the historical context and the technical details of
wind power innovation Provides historical context for wind power
developments and explains the evolution of wind turbine technology
in an easy-to-understand manner Discusses the policy, technology,
and market evolution of wind power in commonly understood language
Offers a review of the surrounding power technology, policy, and
market environment throughout the history of wind power A book that
both specialists and non-specialists can read in order to
understand and appreciate the past, present, and future of wind
power technology, The Wind Power Story: A Century of Innovation
