Wind energy technology has progressed enormously over the last
decade. In coming years it will continue to develop in terms of
power ratings, performance and installed capacity of large wind
turbines worldwide, with exciting developments in offshore
installations. Designed to meet the training needs of wind
engineers, this introductory text puts wind energy in context, from
the natural resource to the assessment of cost effectiveness and
bridges the gap between theory and practice. The thorough coverage
spans the scientific basics, practical implementations and the
modern state of technology used in onshore and offshore wind farms
for electricity generation. Key features: * provides in-depth
treatment of all systems associated with wind energy, including the
aerodynamic and structural aspects of blade design, the flow of
energy and loads through the wind turbine, the electrical
components and power electronics including control systems *
explains the importance of wind resource assessment techniques,
site evaluation and ecology with a focus of project planning and
operation * describes the integration of wind farms into the
electric grid and includes a whole chapter dedicated to offshore
wind farms * includes questions in each chapter for readers to test
their knowledge Written by experts with deep experience in
research, teaching and industry, this text conveys the importance
of wind energy in the international energy-policy debate, and
offers clear insight into the subject for postgraduates and final
year undergraduate students studying all aspects of wind
engineering. Understanding Wind Power Systems is also an
authoritative resource for engineers designing and developing wind
energy systems, energy policy makers, environmentalists, and
economists in the renewable energy sector.
This book offers an introduction to the topic for professionals and
students with a diverse range of backgrounds. Wind Turbine
Aerodynamics is a self-contained textbook that shows how to
progress from the basics of fluid mechanics to modern wind turbine
blade design. It presents the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and
inflow conditions, as well as extensive information on theories
describing the aerodynamics of wind turbines. After examining a
number of related experiments, the book applies the lessons learned
to blade design. The text of the 2nd edition has been thoroughly
revised, with a focus on improved readability. The examples and
solutions have been extended to explain each problem in much
greater detail.
Wind-Turbine Aerodynamics is a self-contained textbook which shows
how to come from the basics of fluid mechanics to modern wind
turbine blade design. It presents a fundamentals of fluid dynamics
and inflow conditions, and gives a extensive introduction into
theories describing the aerodynamics of wind turbines. After
introducing experiments the book applies the knowledge to explore
the impact on blade design.The book is an introduction for
professionals and students of very varying levels.
