Summary:

Integrating wind energy into electrical grids is a massive undertaking, and the global industry and its technology is constantly and quickly changing. As noted in the introduction, five countries alone accounted for more than 83% of the world's wind energy capacity in 2004--that percentage dropped to 53% by the end of 2010, indicating its growing popularity as a source of renewable energy in more countries. And electric grids are some of the largest infrastructure created over the last 100 years. Against that backdrop, the authors of this second edition provide a comprehensive examination of the numerous elements that make up wind energy and its integration into the grid with the intent of sharing the experiences of others with countries interested in developing their own wind power resources. The book would be a valuable reference for professionals involved in wind energy, power systems, and related fields. Editor Ackermann (CEO and founding partner, Energynautics, a German consulting company) and 85 co-authors contributed to the book. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
