Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of 21st century. In the pursuit to combat climate change, renewable energy is seeing a boom in growth. Wind energy is leading the way as it offers a sustainable option. Harnessing energy from the wind and turning it into electricity has many advantages. It does not lead to air or water pollution. Wind Power: Practical Aspects focuses on developing wind power projects in India. It covers factors such as the selection of suitable sites, wind turbines, erection, and commissioning. The book also analyses and explains estimation of energy and cost. Various departments and organizations involved in the process of project approval and implementation are included in detail. The book explains grid management, repowering, development of offshore wind power projects and wind–solar hybrid power projects. Probable accidents in wind power projects, remedial measures, important statistical data of India and the world are also covered.

In the contemporary world, wind energy is emerging as one of the most viable alternatives to meet the challenge of increasing energy demand, particularly for electrical energy generation. It is clean, fuel-free and available almost in every country in the world and in abundance in off-shore. This book, now in its Second Edition, covers most of the essential engineering principles, theories and best practices for wind energy development for electricity generation with clear emphasis on state-of-the-art. In this edition, substantial addition has been made in the chapters on Aerodynamics, Siting, Wind Farm Design, and Wind Energy Economics. This comprehensive book on wind energy is intended as a text for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical/Electrical Engineering and students pursuing Energy Studies. It will also serve as a handbook and ready reference for practicing engineers and professionals in the field of wind energy. KEY FEATURES : Describes technological advances in wind energy. Deals with wind resource assessment methodology, instrumentation and advanced techniques. Discusses the concepts of aerodynamics for wind turbine blade and rotor. Provides in detail the design concepts for modern horizontal axis wind turbine. Covers layout design, micro-siting and modelling of wind farms. Analyzes the economics of wind energy projects for electricity generation. Focuses on the impact of wind energy on the environment.
