Keeps theory to the necessary minimum and concentrates on practical aspects. Provides a comprehensive theory for both horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines, either slow or fast. Instructs how to select the most suitable model from among a wide array of commercial products and design a whole wind-powered system. Features downloadable Excel files presenting formulae and design methods to calculate online aerodynamic data, instead of loading the book with static curves and tables. Treats in-depth the design of wind-powered pumping stations and off-grid battery storage systems. Includes end-of -chapter solved problems.
