“I found the book to be a nice introductory courseto the discipline of electric energy production,transmission, and distribution. I would recom-mend it to the undergraduate student beginningto explore the rewarding career path of electricalengineering, and equally so to nontechnical pro-fessionals working in the power and energy indus-try who may wish to gain greater insight into thefunctioning and operations of the electric powersystem. I truly enjoyed reading this book.”

Wind EnergyRenewable Energyand the EnvironmentVaughn C. NelsonWest Texas A&M University,Canyon, USA

Focusing on a cost-effective option for the gen-eration of electricity, Wind Energy illustrates theneed for a shift to renewable energy throughdiscussions on energy use and the order of mag-nitude estimates for the lifetime of fossil fuels. Itdiscusses wind characteristics; the measurementand siting of individual wind turbines and windfarms; and the aerodynamics, operation, con-trol, applications, design, and types of wind tur-bines. It also explores various political and eco-nomic factors.
