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. It is based on the author's experience gained 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. The second
edition accounts for the emerging concerns over increasing numbers of installed wind turbines. In particular,
an important new chapter has been added which deals with offshore wind utilisation. All advanced chapters
have been extensively revised and in some cases considerably extended
Written for reseachers and professionals
