An exploration of wind energy technology today and tomorrow Wind energy Conversion 1996 offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field. Presented by the British Wind Energy Association, this book delves into the research and development projects being carried out by industry, academic institutions, government institutions, and private investors from around the world. As wind energy gains momentum as a serious alternative to fossil fuels, more and more attention — and funding — is being devoted to the optimization of existing technology and the development of new, more efficient devices. This book describes where we are now, and where the technology is projected to go in the near future.
Papers from the British Wind Energy Association's 19th Annual Conference.
As environmental concerns have focused attention on the generation of electricity from clean and renewable sources wind energy has become the world's fastest growing energy source. The Wind Energy Handbook draws on the authors' collective industrial and academic experience to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of wind energy research and provide a comprehensive treatment of wind energy for electricity generation. Features include: An authoritative overview of wind turbine technology and wind farm design and development In-depth examination of the aerodynamics and performance of land-based horizontal axis wind turbines A survey of alternative machine architectures and an introduction to t...
This volume contains reports from the 16th British Wind Energy Conference. The topics addressed include the current status of wind energy in the UK, economic aspects, the development of wind turbine technology, public attitudes and noise emanations.
