Synopsis:

Large-scale wind power generation as a renewable energy source makes a substantial contributionsto power grids in many countries worldwide. Technology is advancing to increase penetration and to optimise the design, construction and performance of wind energy systems. Fundamental issues of safety and reliability are paramount in this drive to increase capacity and efficiency. This book provides a detailed reference on the design and construction of wind energy systems, from wind resource modelling siting criteria, to wind turbine technology, operation and maintenance with coverage of optimisation routes for wind energy systems in offshore and problematic environments.

Key Features: reviews the latest developments in the design, construction and operation of large-scale wind energy systems; offers detailed coverage of wind resource assessment and siting methods relevant to wind turbine and wind farm planning; explores operation and maintenance issues, such as reliability and maintainability strategies and condition monitoring systems.

Contents: Part 1 Fundamental resources, design, safety and reliability: Meteorology and wind resource assessment; Site investigation, characterisation and assessment; Aeroelasticity and structural dynamics; Wind turbine wakes and wind farm aerodynamics; Fatigue loading. Part 2 Wind energy system materials and developments: Aerodynamic design of rotors; Drive train systems; Control systems; Tower design, erection and maintenance. Part 3 Operation and maintenance (O&M), performance assessment, and optimisation: Reliability and maintainability, and O&M strategies; Condition monitoring systems; Performance assessment and knowledge management; Optimising design for in low wind speed operation; Optimising design for cold climate operation. Part 4 Offshore design, construction, O&M: Offshore loads and wind turbine design; Support structures for offshore systems; Integrated wind farm planning and design; O&M of offshore systems.
