Preface

The technology of extracting energy from the wind has evolved dramatically over the past 50 years, and there have been relatively few attempts to describe that technology in a single textbook. The lack of such a text, together with a perceived need, provided the impetus for writing the first edition of this book.

The material in the original edition evolved from course notes from Wind Energy Engineering, a course that has been taught at the University of Massachusetts since the mid‐1970s. These notes were later substantially revised and expanded with the support of the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). In the second edition, we added new material to reflect the rapid worldwide expansion of wind engineering in the 21st century. Now in the third edition, we have continued to update the previous texts and have added new material on offshore wind energy. We have also added material relating to the design and construction of today’s larger and more sophisticated wind turbines, as well as about how the wind can provide a very significant amount of the world’s energy supply.

This book provides a description of the topics that are fundamental to understanding the conversion of wind energy to electricity and its eventual use by society. These topics span a wide range, from meteorology through many fields of engineering to economics and environmental concerns. The book begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the technology and explains how it came to take the form it has today. The next chapter describes the wind resource and how it relates to energy production. Chapter 3 discusses aerodynamic principles and explains how the wind’s energy will cause a wind turbine’s rotor to turn. Chapter 4 delves into the dynamic and mechanical aspects of the turbine in more detail, and considers the relation of the rotor to the rest of the machine. Chapter 5 provides a summary of the electrical aspects of wind energy conversion, especially the actual generation and conversion of the electricity. Chapter 6
