Abstract
:
Describes past and present wind turbines and provides detailed mathematical models developed by leaders in the fields of aerodynamics, structural dynamics and fatigue, meteorology, acoustic and electromagnetic emissions, commercial wind power applications, and utility power systems. Economics, costs, the integration of wind power plants into utility systems, and color photographs of current commercial wind turbines are included.
