New Softcover NA To abate the global climate change, wind power is developing very fast around the world, and India is one of the leading countries in this field. In just a few decades, wind power has developed from an alternative energy source to a new fast growing industrial branch. This book gives a wide and deep introduction to most aspects of this renewable energy source. Different types of wind turbines and their components are described in detail. The electrical system of wind turbines as well as its adaptation to the grid are emphasised. The wind climate, the wind resources, the power in the wind and how to find and utilise sites with the best wind conditions, is another area that is discussed in detail. The configuration and selection of wind power plants that suit local wind conditions and the measures to make these plants operate effectively and efficiently, are the other aspects that have been dealt with comprehensively. To keep India ahead always in wind power development, energy policy and promotional strategies are also described in this book. This book should be a compulsory reading for all who are engaged in the wind power business as well as for the university students pursuing energy studies, policy makers, grid operators, and all those who want to be in the ongoing energy revolution to generate inexpensive and clean power from renewables.

Wood, David: Small Wind Turbines Analysis, Design, and Application. With online files/update, SPRINGER, BERLIN, 071 ISBN: 1849961743
Small Wind Turbines provides a thorough grounding in analysing, designing, building, and installing a small wind turbine. Small turbines are introduced by emphasising their differences from large ones and nearly all the analysis and design examples refer to small turbines.The accompanying software includes MATLAB programs for power production and starting performance, as well as programs for detailed multi-objective optimisation of blade design. A spreadsheet is also given to help readers apply the simple load model of the IEC standard for small wind turbine safety. Small Wind Turbines represents the distilled outcome of over twenty years experience in fundamental research, design and installation, and field testing of small wind turbines.Small Wind Turbines is a suitable reference for student projects and detailed design studies, and also provides important background material for engineers and others using small wind turbines for remote power and distributed generation applications.
