- Summary:
- Four British scientists who have migrated to wind energy from bridge design, aircraft design, industrial engineering, and theoretical physics, present a broad and detailed reference for engineers to designing, building, operating, and maintaining a wind energy system. They cover the wind resource, aerodynamics of horizontal axis and wind turbines, design loads for horizontal axis wind turbines, the conceptual design of horizontal axis wind turbines, component design, the controller, installation and wind farms, wind energy and the electric power system, and offshore wind turbines and wind farms. The final chapter is among the new material reflecting the evolution of design rules and innovations in the technology and the industry since the first edition was published in 2001.
