Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
The energy available in the wind varies as the cube of the wind speed, so an understanding of the characteristics of the wind resource is critical to all aspects of wind energy exploitation, from the identification of suitable sites and predictions of the economic viability of wind farm projects through to the design of wind turbines themselves, and understanding their effect on electricity distribution networks and consumers. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for Engineers., 6 Feb 2007
By Mike (Cambridge,UK) - See all my reviews
At last, a wind energy book with real maths in it. Has a good in depth description of most wind energy topics, with further and scientific references. This book is specific to horizontal axis wind generators. If you are a degree level engineer with an interest in wind generators then this is the book for you.
