Summary: "Wind energy is pivotal in global electricity generation and for contributing for achieving future essential energy demands and targets. In this fast moving field, Wind Energy Engineering: A Handbook for onshore and offshore Wind Turbines is the most advanced, up to date, and research focused text on all aspects of wind energy engineering. This must-have edition starts with an in-depth look at the fundamentals of wind power, the present state of wind power in the worldwide, integration into national grids, and continues with a high-level assessment of the advances in turbine technology and how the investment, planning, aesthetics, and economic infrastructure can support those innovations. It also includes chapters on storing wind energy, small-scale wind systems, life cycle assessments, investments, and growth trends" -- Back cover.
