Description
Climate change caused by burning fossil fuels and escalating fossil fuel prices make the further rapid development of renewable energy sources a global imperative.
Energy provided by wind power, though no panacea, has the potential to make a substantial contribution to meeting electricity needs in many countries.
This concise and accessible account of the history and future development of wind power technology offers a complete overview of this vital field for engineers, scientists, students and all readers interested in wind power.
Requiring no prior technical knowledge, this book provides a global historical assessment of wind power use, encapsulating sequential experimental changes, and concluding with narration of wind deployment, and an assessment of future options.
Wind power is shown as compatible with large scale use: a clean, competitive and abundant energy source to help meet our future needs.
