Wind Energy Explained: Theory, Design and Application-Second Edition

Two completely new chapters covering the fundamentals of data collection and analysis, computer codes and wind turbine design and testing, the authors draw on substantial practical experience to provide a highly accessible introduction to the cross-disciplinary field of wind engineering.

Wind turbine

What is a wind turbine? A wind turbine is also referred to as a windmill or wind generator. Though the terms are used interchangeably, there is a minor difference. The wind turbine is the device that makes use of the wind energy to produce mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then used as is or [...]

Wind power solutions at home

With the world’s ever-increasing demand of power being more than its supply, it is about time that we take concrete steps to save power. Apart from being conscious about the usage of power and water at home, one can employ pollution-free and cost-effective power solutions at our homes. Solar power solutions and wind power solutions [...]

Wind generator

What is a wind generator? A wind generator is a machine that uses wind energy to produce electrical energy. It captures wind energy and converts it into mechanical energy that moves the blades of a motor to produce electrical energy. Wind generators help produce thousands of megawatts of electricity. They are also a very popular [...]

Living The Green Energy Home Dream

With all the advances in green energy technology, it is easier than ever to start converting your home into a green energy home.  A green energy home utilizes renewable resources to provide electricity, hot water, heat and peace of mind. There are several ways to implement your green energy home plan.  The first is solar [...]

What Are Green Energy Sources

Many homeowners today are looking into integrating green energy sources for developing more energy efficient homes and businesses.  A green energy source is power generated through renewable resources, such as the sun, wind and water.  The other benefit of green energy sources is their low contribution to global warming, pollution and other environmental issues. The [...]

Making wind power

Wind energy is readily available but wind power is not. Unfortunately, the wind power system has not reached the status of becoming a regular power system. However, the good news is that the concept is picking up. Why is wind power important? Wind power makes sense in these times when the demand far exceeds the [...]

Making electricity

How is electricity produced conventionally? Conventionally, electricity is produced by moving colossal turbines. These turbines are moved with the help of various types of energy. Let’s look at the most conventional ways of producing electrical energy: • By using various fuels and water – Water is heated on a large-scale in furnaces. The vapor generated [...]
