Johnson Gary L. Wind Energy Systems

Manhattan, KS, 1994. Electronic Edition, 2001. 419 p.Книга, посвященная детальному изучению современных технологий ветроэнергетических установок (ВЭУ)Wind energy systems draw on a wide range of disciplines. Any prospective user, regardless
of his background, will feel large gaps in his knowledge, areas where he does not even know
what the question is, let alone where to go look for the answer. This book is written to help
people identify the proper question to ask.
This book will be of interest to those students who are interested in energy sources besides
coal and nuclear. Oil and natural gas are obviously not suitable long term solutions to
our energy requirements, and coal and nuclear energy face severe environmental obstacles.
This means that the so-called alternative energy sources may well become primary sources
over the next few decades. At the present time wind, solar photovoltaic, and solar thermal
systems appear to be the main contenders for supplying a substantial fraction of the energy
requirements of the United States and much of the remainder of the world as well.
