A Guide to Small Wind Energy Conversion Systems

This enterprising book is intended as a practical guide to all wind-energy generators up to 100 kW rated capacity. Very small machines such as battery chargers are included, though the main emphasis is on the 20 kW to 100 kW range. Small wind-energy conversion systems are being purchased in increasing numbers in the UK. They are used mainly in remote and island installations (especially on farms) to reduce dependence on conventional fuels such as oil and bottled gas. But the book is not just a practical handbook for those who already have a machine; it supplies sufficient information to allow potential purchasers to decide whether the installation of such a generator would be cost-effective in their own particular circumstances.Twidell, John is the author of 'A Guide to Small Wind Energy Conversion Systems', published 1987 under ISBN 9780521268981 and ISBN 0521268982.
