Produktinformationen zu „Wind Energy Essentials (PDF)“
Examines the possible societal impacts of wind energy
projects and explains the potential issues faced when siting,
constructing, and operating a wind energy project.
This book begins with a history of wind power and the social
impacts of both electricity and wind power from a historical
perspective, a discussion of basic electrical terms, and a primer
on the conversion of power in the wind to electricity. Much of the
second half of the book is devoted to comparing wind energy to
other forms of electric generation, both renewable and
non-renewable sources. In order to have a true understanding of the
impact of wind energy on society, one also has to have a thorough
understanding of the impacts that other sources of electric
generation have, such as fossil-fuelled plants or nuclear power
plants. The comparison of electric generation sources includes a
review of how such sources are typically utilized within the
electric system, as well as the economic factors and environmental
considerations that affect which resources utilities or operators
of electric grids have to take into account. The authors conclude
with a discussion of energy policies in the U.S., individual
states, and foreign nations, how these policies influence the use
of renewable energy, and what our future may hold in terms of
energy supply and demand. Some highlights of this book are:

Autoren-Porträt von Richard P. Walker, Andrew Swift
Richard Walker has many years of experience in both theelectric power and the wind energy industries, in addition to
teaching wind energy at Texas Tech University. During his
career, he has been involved in electric transmission engineering,
solar energy, research and development, state and federal
governmental affairs, and the development of over 1,600 MW of wind
farms currently in operation (including the first utility-scale
wind farm in Texas and the 782 MW Roscoe wind farm, which for
several years was the world's largest wind energy project).
Andrew Swift is presently Professor of Civil and
Environmental Engineering and the Associate Director of the
National Wind Institute at Texas Tech University, where his focus
is on wind energy education and workforce development. His previous
academic appointments include Director of the Wind Science and
Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech and Dean of the College
of Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso.
