Unlike the majority of other texts on wind power, which are written primarily for engineers or policy analysts, this book specifically targets those interested in, or planning to develop, wind power projects. Having outlined wind power basics and explained the underlying resource and technology, the author explores the interactions between wind power and society, and the main aspects of project development, including siting, economics and legislation. This book will be an essential reference for professionals developing new sites, government officials and consultants reviewing related applications, and both specialists and non-specialists studying wind power project development. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Simple and to the point to help explain complex terms and information to simplerer audiencesAug 09, 2009
By Jc Lech
When I ordered this book and looking at the price I was skeptical as to whether it would deliver the value it proposed. After reviewing and reading it is a great addition to Paul Gipe's book wind power. Paul Gipe's book goes into heavy reading and detail which is super, for for a summary book and helping fill in the gaps and present information to your employees and audiences in a simple real practical terms this book is a super and great asset. There are great pictures, tables and illustrations. Additionally, it is well written and easy to comprehend.

Gide for practical work in wind project developmentDec 08, 2009
By Miodrag Zlatanovic
Very useful book. Not only for students at different levels, but also for the engineers working in wind project development. This book is recommended also for persons living in countries with non developed wind power to get the information how to support the idea on wind power introduction.
Comparative analysis of the measures that act as a driving force or a barrier for wind power development is of practical importance. The discussion on the environment impact of wind power projects is detailed as well the spatial planning recommendation.
