Description
The wind has been used as a source of energy for over 3000 years. Interest in the subject was stimulated by the oil crises of the 1970s - and by the search for clean, renewable energy resources. Several thousand megawatts of wind plant are now installed or planned around the world. Presenting a study of our understanding of the wind and its conversion into useful energy, this text examines the planning of an entire wind project. In keeping with the aims of the series, it considers economic and environmental issues and how a wind farm connects into the electricity network. Material covers mainly horizontal axis machines, but also refers to vertical axis machines. The first part deals with wind turbine theory and its application, and the second is concerned with project assessment and engineering.
