Contents:
Windmills and Windwheels -- Electrical Power from the Wind – The First Attempts -- Basic Concepts of Wind Energy Converters -- Physical Principles of Wind Energy Conversion -- Rotor Aerodynamics -- Loads and Structural Stresses -- Vibrational Characteristics -- Rotor Blades -- Mechanical Drive Train and Nacelle -- Electrical System -- Control Systems and Operational Sequence -- The Tower.- The Wind Resource -- Power Output and Energy Yield -- Environmental Impact -- Commercial Applications of Wind Turbines -- Offshore Wind Energy Utilisation -- Wind Turbine Installation and Operation -- Wind Turbine Costs -- Wind Turbine Economics.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: "Wind Turbines" addresses all those professionally involved in research, development, manufacture and operation of wind turbines. It provides a cross-disciplinary overview of modern wind turbine technology and an orientation in the associated technical, economic and environmental fields.  In its revised third edition, special emphasis has been given to the latest trends in wind turbine technology and design, such as gearless drive train concepts, as well as on new fields of application, in particular the offshore utilisation of wind energy. The author has gained experience over decades designing wind energy converters with a major industrial manufacturer and, more recently, in technical consulting and in the planning of large wind park installations, with special attention to economics.
