Riassunto:

Wind Energy Design provides an understanding of how wind farm design impacts wind turbine performance and offers rigorous design optimization coverage. It explores the blade design features, including aerodynamics, structures, and environmental impact, that yield an efficient rotor.

Demonstrating how theoretical aspects can be applied to produce a new conceptual wind energy design, this book addresses topics on wind characteristics and modeling, rotor aerodynamics, lightweight and flexible structures, wind farm aerodynamics, wind turbine control, acoustics, energy storage, and economics. The new edition features new sections on minimizing the costs of electricity and wind farm design for maximum energy capture. It includes a new case study on deployable wind turbines for defense and disaster response missions.

This book is intended for upper-level undergraduate engineering students taking courses in Renewable Energy, Wind Power, Energy Systems, and Energy Conversion.

Instructors will be able to utilize a solutions manual and figure slides for their course.

Informazioni sull?autore:

Dr. Thomas C. Corke is the Clark Chair Professor of Engineering in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame. He is currently the Director of the Hypersonics Systems Initiative at the University, and an Advisor to the Vice-President for Research. Dr. Corke is the Founding Director of the Notre Dame Institute for Flow Physics and Control (FlowPAC), a position he held for 18 years. He was also the third Director of the Notre Dame Hessert Laboratory for Aerospace Research, a position he held for 15 years, and under his direction significantly expanded the number of fluid dynamic research facilities through the addition of the 70,000 sqft White Field Laboratory. Dr. Corke is internationally recognized for his research in the areas of fluid instabilities and transition to turbulence, control of turbulent boundary layers, flow visualization techniques and flow control. He has been developing plasma actuators for more than 30 years and is considered a leading authority on plasma flow control, in which he holds 41 U.S. and International patents. In support of his hypersonic systems research, he has recently completed a large Mach 10 Quiet Wind Tunnel.
