Wind power generation and wind turbine design

Unknown Wei, Tong WIT Press (Southampton, Boston , 2010) (eng) English 9781845642051 Unknown Unknown WIND TURBINES--DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION; Unknown Along with rising energy demand in the 21st century and the growing recognition of global warming and environmental pollution, energy supply has become an integral and cross cutting element of every country's economy. In recent years, more and more countries have prioritized sustainable, renewable, and clean energy sources such as wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, etc., as the replacements for fossil fuels. Wind power is the fastest growing alternative energy segment, providing an attractive cost structure relative to other alternative energy. Wind energy has played a significant role in North.
