An Introduction to Windmill and Wind Turbine Design and Manufacturing Processes

  • Online

The entire world is seeking more energy, including energy generated by wind power. In this course the basic components of a wind turbine are illustrated and explained. The authors discuss the challenges of wind energy economics and conventional versus alternative energy sources. They illustrate how wind power physics and related mathematics guide the design and the manufacturing processes of wind turbines and review how to calculate the maximum efficiency of wind energy conversion."}'>The entire world is seeking more energy, including energy generated by wind power.
