About this ebook
Wind Turbine Technology is designed as a practical learning resource for engineering students, maintenance professionals, technicians, supervisors, renewable-energy professionals, and readers who want to understand how wind energy is converted into useful electrical power.
The book follows the complete energy chain: wind resource → rotor aerodynamics → mechanical transmission → generator → power electronics → transformer → grid → monitoring and maintenance. It also discusses modern direct-drive concepts, condition monitoring, digitalization, offshore technology, energy storage, and the role of wind power in a low-carbon electricity system.
The explanations emphasize engineering intuition. Equations are introduced where they help the reader understand relationships among wind speed, swept area, air density, power coefficient, torque, rotational speed, voltage, current, and electrical power.
