WIND ENERGY BASICS
by Paul Gipe
Wind Energy Basics is the most up to date presentation of small wind power systems for educational programs concerned with state-of-the-art renewable energy options. Titles of this quality will be indispensable for those considering today’s generation of quiet, efficient, and reliable “micro” wind turbines for domestic use. Aimed at the smaller scale application of wind power, Wind Energy Basics draws on the dramatic raise in turbine efficiency, economy and adaptability achieved in the 1990’s, to the extent that they are becoming an increasingly viable energy alternative. Considered one of the most popular, and fastest growing alternative energy source in the world. Wind power is high on governmental agendas for alternatives to more traditional energy production. We can expect to see wind power experience a huge impetus as governments and corporate bodies look to popularize clean alternative energy sources.
