A highly accessible and authoritative account of wind energy s
scientific background, current technology, and international
status, with an emphasis on large turbines and wind farms, both
onshore and offshore Topics covered include: * a brief history of
wind energy * the nature of the wind * turbine aerodynamics,
mechanics, and electrics * wind farms * offshore opportunities and
challenges * grid integration of wind energy * economic and
environmental aspects Whilst intellectually rigorous, this is not
an academic treatise. Key equations are fully discussed, providing
essential theoretical background. The text is supported by copious
illustrations and about 50 inspiring full-colour photographs from
around the world. This book is aimed at a wide readership including
professionals, policy makers and employees in the energy sector in
need of a basic appreciation of the underlying principles of wind
energy or a quick update. Its style and level will also appeal to
second and third year undergraduate and postgraduate students of
renewable and wind energy, energy systems and electrical/electronic
engineering. It also gives a concise account of the technology for
the large and growing number of people who are interested in
onshore and offshore wind farms and the contribution they are
making to carbon-free electricity generation in the 21st century.
