Wind Energy: An Introduction covers wind energy system types, operation, modeling, analysis, integration, and control. Beginning with a history of the development of wind energy, this comprehensive book:

• Explains the aerodynamic theories that govern the operation of wind turbines
• Presents wind energy statistics to address the stochastic nature of wind speed
• Employs the statistical modeling of wind speed to evaluate sites for wind energy generation
• Highlights the differences between the most common types of wind turbines

Electric power engineering education traditionally covers safety of the power equipment and systems. Little attention, if any, is given to the safety of people. When they reach professional status, most power engineers are not familiar with electric safety issues such as practices governing site works or grounding techniques of dwellings, hospitals, and factories. Designed for both electrical engineering student and practicing power engineers, Electric Safety: Practice and Standards provides the knowledge and analysis they need to be well versed in electric safety....
