Wind Energy Explained: Theory, Design and Application

I've just started this book. It's for a Wind Energy Systems course. So far, it has been a very straight-forward and practical introduction into the field of wind energy. While it is very easy to understand and very practical, it's also been quite thorough in explaining the concepts. Overall, I anticipate this to be a great book; certainly one of the "keepers" you come across every now and then.

This book is absolutely the best book I have owned on the subject. I love the simplicity of the text, clarity of the illustrations, and above all the fact that it covered all the necessary areas on the subject. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge on wind energy.

It does explain wind energy

Jim Manwell, Jon McGowan, and their colleagues have done an excellent job in presenting wind energy development, history, and concepts,

This is a most excellent textbook and advanced reference on wind energy.Michael Flahie, PE

Great!

This book has no practical examples. This book is really boring. It only talks about theories but there aren't any examples or application.If you're a professor, DO NOT USE THIS BOOK. Use something else.

It covered many useful topics in wind turbine industry and gave a full basic concept for a wind turbine. It is a great book.
