Theory, Design and Application
Now fully revised, this second edition of Wind Energy Explained: Theory, Design and Application builds on its highly successful predecessor, now the leading textbook for wind energy degree courses.
Omschrijving
Wind energy's bestselling textbook- fully revised.
This must-have second edition includes up-to-date data, diagrams, illustrations and thorough new material on:
- the fundamentals of wind turbine aerodynamics;
- wind turbine testing and modelling;
- wind turbine design standards;
- offshore wind energy;
- special purpose applications, such as energy storage and fuel production.
Fifty additional homework problems and a new appendix on data processing make this comprehensive edition perfect for engineering students.
This book offers a complete examination of one of the most promising sources of renewable energy and is a great introduction to this cross-disciplinary field for practising engineers.
"provides a wealth of information and is an excellent reference book for people interested in the subject of wind energy." (IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, November/December 2003)
"deserves a place in the library of every university and college where renewable energy is taught." (The International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, Vol.41, No.2 April 2004)
"a very comprehensive and well-organized treatment of the current status of wind power." (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 4, December 2002)
