Nelson V. Wind Energy. Renewable Energy and the Environment

1 edition - Ventus Publishing ApS, 2010. – 88 p. The need for this type of book is very well documented, the current consumption of energy is unsustainable and humans have to change their habits and or utilise this source and other sources of renewable energy such as solar, hydro and biomass, but there is so much work before we can rely completely on renewable energy sources. This book aims to describe the fundamentals of wind energy and the pe...

InTech, Rijeka, Croatia, 2011, 128 pages The book Wind Energy Management is a required part of pursuing research work in the field of Renewable Energy at most universities. It provides in-depth knowledge to the subject for the beginners and stimulates further interest in the topic. The salient features of this book include: - Strong coverage of key topics - User friendly and accessible presentation to make learning interesting as much as possi...

Earthscan Publications Ltd., London, 2007, Pages: 219 The energy available from wind, waves, tides and the sun varies in ways which may not match variations in energy demand. Assimilating these fluctuations will affect the output of other forms of generation and the operation and economics of electricity networks and markets. Are these problems significant, or can these new sources be integrated into the grid system without the need for extensiv...

Lucent Books, 2005 - 106 p. ISBN 1–59018–530– 7. Energy drives all life and is a key component to how humanity works, lives, and sustains itself. Due to the depletion of existing energy sources and the damage being done to the earth's ecosystems, renewable, non-polluting energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power, are being developed and implemented. New Energy Sources. The Development of Energy. Solar Power. Wind Power. Hydro...

World Scientific Publishing, 2011, 360 pages Energy may be the most important factor that will influence the shape of society in the 21st century. The cost and availability of energy significantly impacts our quality of life, the health of national economies, the relationships between nations, and the stability of our environment. What kind of energy do we want to use in our future? Will there be enough? What will be the consequences of our deci...

American Wind Energy Association, 2008, 183 p. Global warming is considered one of the most serious problems facing the global community. Certain gases, such as carbon dioxide, when released in the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels, create a "greenhouse effect." Clean, renewable energy solutions, such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems, that do not rely on fossil fuels for energy generation help curb the effects of global wa...

CRC Press, Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2010, 554 pages Wind power generation is fast becoming one of the leading renewable energy sources worldwide. Reliability of power supply is one of the main issues for wind energy systems, and so improved stand-alone and hybrid wind energy systems are being developed, incorporating advanced energy storage and grid integration systems, in order to increase power generation rates and to provide secure power...

First published June 2010 Printed in India ISBN 978-953-7619-81-7 578 p. In electrical power generation system the present trend is to maximize the renewable energy penetration ratio as much as possible. Among the renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biogas/biomass, tidal, geothermal, etc., wind energy has the huge potential to play an important role in energy market along with conventional energy sources. Therefore, reasonably the r...

CRC, 2011. 408 p. ISBN:1439834490. As the world population grows and places more demand on limited fossil fuels, renewable energy becomes more relevant as part of the solution to the impending energy dilemma. Renewable energy is now included in national policies, with goals for it to be a significant percentage of generated energy within the coming decades. A comprehensive overview, Introduction to Renewable Energy explores how we can use the s...

Springer, 2008. - 506 pages. With shortages of fossil energy, especially oil and natural gas, and heavy biomass energy use occurring in both developed and developing countries, a major focus has developed worldwide on renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems include wind power, biomass, photovoltaics, hydropower, solar thermal, thermal ponds, and biogas. Currently, a heavy focus is on biofuels made from crops, such as corn, sugarcane,...
