4 Best books on Wind Energy
Here is my list of 4 most interesting books about wind energy:
1. Wind Energy Explained: Theory, Design and Application
This book offers a highly accessible and pragmatic overview of wind energy, providing a comprehensive explanation of concepts while remaining straightforward and practical. Although it effectively explains the subject matter, it lacks a sufficient number of examples, only sporadically providing them. Additionally, if you are not familiar with all the base SI units, you will need to refer to external sources for their definitions since they are not included in the book. Nevertheless, I expect this book to be excellent overall, making it one of those rare "keepers" that you encounter from time to time.
2. Wind Power For Dummies
If you lack knowledge about small wind power and are considering purchasing or constructing a system for home use, this book provides an excellent starting point. It avoids excessive technicality, although some sections on electricity can be a bit tedious. Nonetheless, the majority of the content is straightforward and easy to understand. While I had hoped for more details about specific turbines and manufacturers, this book doesn't delve deeply into that aspect. However, if you're seeking an understanding of the fundamental principles and whether wind energy is suitable for your needs, this book does a commendable job. It's a quick read and beneficial for those new to wind power.
3. Superpower: One Man's Quest to Transform American Energy
If you're seeking a comprehensive explanation for why democracy, states rights, and federal planning can be intricate and exasperating, this book offers valuable insights into why our grid's development is unlikely to proceed in a seamless, straightforward, or wise manner. By delving into the complexities, this book illuminates the challenges faced by the renewable energy community, emphasizing the significant influence of NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) sentiments worldwide. Overall, it is an accessible and informative book that provides a clear understanding of the obstacles involved.
4. Wind Energy for the Rest of Us: A Comprehensive Guide to Wind Power and How to Use It
This book offers an exceptional account of the history of wind power. Although the inclusion of "for the rest of us" in the title might have led me to anticipate a greater focus on small wind turbines for residential and commercial use, the book still delivers valuable insights for individuals considering the installation of such turbines. While it may not provide an extensive amount of information in that specific regard, the book remains a valuable resource, offering valuable information for anyone contemplating the potential of implementing a small wind turbine.
