EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
The book covers all the major aspects of wind energy conversion technology. In contrast with other publications on this subject, the author gives due emphasis to wind resource analysis and its economic aspects. The subject is treated from its basics and gradually developed to the advanced level. Such a treatment caters the needs of readers with different subject backgrounds. Each section is discussed with illustrative examples and practical problems. Software, based on the analytical techniques discussed in the publication, is provided on an enclosed CD-ROM. An extensive bibliography is appended to each chapter to give further guidance to the readers.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Comprehensive, Concise and Interesting  
Dr Mathew had the ability to present in his book a comprehensive view of Wind Energy and Wind Power Project feasibility. The book is well-written and once I started the first page I just could not stop reading it. The most interesting point of this book is that it not only presents the basic concepts but it also reinforces its message with objective exercises. The WERA software (included) is an interesting first-step approach to more detailed wind power softwares such as WAsP and WindPro. I do recommend Dr Mathew's book to anyone interested in the Wind Energy business.
