This expanded new edition of Wind Turbines introduces key topics in
offshore wind, alongside carefully revised and updated coverage of
core topics in wind turbine technology. It features two new chapters
on offshore wind, covering offshore resources, metocean data, wind
turbine technologies, environmental impact, and loading and dynamics
for fixed-bottom and floating platforms. Real-world case studies are
introduced from Europe and the USA, and a new chapter examines wind
power in the context of broader decarbonisation, practical energy
storage, and other renewable energy sources. Updated coverage of
turbine energy yield calculations, blade-element momentum theory, and
current economic trends is presented, and over 100 varied
end-of-chapter problems are included, with solutions available for
instructors. Combining key topics in aerodynamics, electrical and
control theory, structures, planning, economics, and policy, the clear
language of this multidisciplinary textbook makes it ideal for
undergraduate and graduate students, and professional engineers, in
the renewable energy sector.
