Wind Energy Engineering
by: Pramod Jain
Abstract: This authoritative resource offers comprehensive details on effectively using wind energy as a viable and economical energy source. Featuring a multi-disciplinary approach, Wind Energy Engineering covers physics, meteorology, aerodynamics. wind measurement, wind turbine specifications, electricity, and integration with the grid. Planning, site selection, cost assessment, environmental impact, and project management are also discussed. Filled with diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, and statistics, this is a definitive reference to current and future developments in wind energy.
