Samenvatting

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 fuel production.

Fifty additional homework problems and a new appendix on data processing make this comprehensive edition perfect for engineering students.
This book offers a complete examination of one of the most promising sources of renewable energy and is a great introduction to this cross–disciplinary field for practising engineers.
provides a wealth of information and is an excellent reference book for people interested in the subject of wind energy. (IEEE Power & Energy Magazine, November/December 2003)
deserves a place in the library of every university and college where renewable energy is taught. (The International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, Vol.41, No.2 April 2004)
a very comprehensive and well–organized treatment of the current status of wind power. (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 4, December 2002)
