Wind energy's bestselling textbook- fully revised.
This must-have second edition includes up-to-date data,diagrams, illustrations and thorough new material on:
* the fundamentals of wind turbine aerodynamics;
* wind turbine testing and modelling;
* wind turbine design standards;
* offshore wind energy;
* special purpose applications, such as energy storage and fuelproduction.
Fifty additional homework problems and a new appendix on dataprocessing make this comprehensive edition perfect for engineeringstudents.
This book offers a complete examination of one of the mostpromising sources of renewable energy and is a great introductionto this cross-disciplinary field for practising engineers.
"provides a wealth of information and is an excellentreference book for people interested in the subject of windenergy." (IEEE Power & Energy Magazine,November/December 2003)
"deserves a place in the library of every university andcollege where renewable energy is taught." (TheInternational Journal of Electrical Engineering Education,Vol.41, No.2 April 2004)
"a very comprehensive and well-organized treatment of thecurrent status of wind power." (Choice, Vol. 40, No.4, December 2002)

Über Autor(innen)

James Manwell is a professor of Mechanical Engineering theUniversity of Massachusetts and the Director of the Wind EnergyCenter there. He hold an M.S. in Electrical and Computerengineering and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. he has beeninvolved with a wide range of wind energy research areas since themid 1970's. These range from wind turbine dynamics to wind hybridpower systems. His most recent research has focused on theassessment of external conditions related to the design of offshorewind turbines. he has participated in activities of theInternational Energy Agency, the International ElectrotechnicalCommission and the International Science Panel on RenewableEnergies. He lives in Conway, Massachusetts.
John McGowan a professor Mechanical Engineering at theUniversity of Massachusetts and the co-Director of the Wind EnergyCenter there. He holds an M.S. and a Ph.D. in MechanicalEngineering. During his forty plus years at the University he hasdeveloped and taught a number of fundamental undergraduate/graduateengineering courses in renewable energy and energy conversion. Hisresearch and graduate student supervision at UMass has producedapproximately 200 technical papers in a wide range of energyconversion applications. His recent research interests in windengineering have been concentrated in the areas of wind systemsiting, hybrid systems modeling, economics, and offshore windengineering. Professor McGowan is a Fellow of the American Societyof Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and editor of Wind Engineeringjournal. He lives in Northfield, Massachusetts.
Anthony Rogers holds both and M.S. and Ph.D. inMechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts and wasformerly a senior research engineer in the Renewable EnergyResearch Laboratory (now the Wind Energy center) there. He ispresently a senior engineer at DNV Global Energy Concepts. He hashad a long career in the wind energy field, and has been involvedwith a wide range of topics. These have included wind turbinemonitoring and control and the application of remote sensingdevices. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
