Inhaltsangabe

This textbook provides in-depth treatment of all systems associated with wind energy, including the aerodynamic and structural aspects of blade design, the flow of energy and loads through the wind turbine, the electrical components and power electronics including control systems. It explains the importance of wind resource assessment techniques, site evaluation and ecology and describes the integration of wind farms into the electrical grid. The reader will also become familiar with the offshore technology, the youngest and most promising aspect of wind energy. 

The completely revised and updated new edition provides new sections on fatigue design, analytical models for structural analysis and topology optimization. The book is written by experts in research, teaching and industry. It conveys the importance of wind energy in the international energy policy debate and offers clear insight into the subject for all students learning about wind engineering. Problemswith solutions are perfect for self-study. It is also an authoritative resource for engineers designing and developing wind energy systems, energy policy-makers and economists in the renewable energy sector.

The translation of some chapters was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alois Schaffarczyk received his Ph.D. in Statistical Physics in 1986 from the University of Göttingen, Germany. After some years in the industry, he became Professor at Kiel University of Applied Sciences in 1992. Since almost that time he works on wind turbine aerodynamics. He is author of the book "Introduction to Wind Turbine Aerodynamics".
