 no practical examples.Jul 12, 2010
This book has no practical examples. This book is really boring. It only talks about theories but there aren't any examples or application.
If you're a professor, DO NOT USE THIS BOOK. Use something else.
 Simply the best-written text on wind enegy!Jun 11, 2010
This book is absolutely the best book I have owned on the subject. I love the simplicity of the text, clarity of the illustrations, and above all the fact that it covered all the necessary areas on the subject. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge on wind energy.
Fifty new homework problems and a new appendix on data processing are just a few of the updatesMay 16, 2010
The second updated edition of WIND ENERGY EXPLAINED: THEORY, DESIGN AND APPLICATION includes the latest data, illustrations and all new material on wind turbines, offshore wind energy, and more. Fifty new homework problems and a new appendix on data processing are just a few of the updates and expansions for this fine edition, recommended for any college-level science and natural resources collection.
Great Wind Energy Engineering book!Feb 21, 2010
This is a great book. So far, the theoretical teachings in this book have been excellent for my ME 430 class.
A nice, practical introduction to the fieldFeb 07, 2010
I've just started this book. It's for a Wind Energy Systems course. So far, it has been a very straight-forward and practical introduction into the field of wind energy. While it is very easy to understand and very practical, it's also been quite thorough in explaining the concepts. Overall, I anticipate this to be a great book; certainly one of the "keepers" you come across every now and then.
