Product Description
Wind power is developing rapidly, both in the number of new installations and in the interest from various stakeholders including policy makers, NGOs, research scientists, industry, and a broader general public. Unlike the majority of other texts on wind power, which are written primarily for engineers or policy analysts, this book specifically targets professionals and students interested in wind power project development.
Having outlined wind power basics and explained the underlying resource and technology, the author explores the interactions between wind power and society and the main aspects of project development, including, siting, economics, and legislation.
Based on a successful Swedish edition, expanded and updated for an international market, this book will be an essential reference for professionals developing new sites, government officials and consultants reviewing related applications, and both specialists and non-specialists studying wind power project development.

5 out of 5 stars Simple and to the point to help explain complex terms and information to simplerer audiences   August 9, 2009

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

When I ordered this book and looking at the price I was skeptical as to whether it would deliver the value it proposed. After reviewing and reading it is a great addition to Paul Gipe's book wind power. Paul Gipe's book goes into heavy reading and detail which is super, for for a summary book and helping fill in the gaps and present information to your employees and audiences in a simple real practical terms this book is a super and great asset. There are great pictures, tables and illustrations. Additionally, it is well written and easy to comprehend.

Professor Wizelius presents an objective approach to Wind Power Projects and fundamental concepts. The book covers some important Wind Power aspects from A to Z - from technical issues to project development and commercial feasibility analysis. I strongly recommend this book to any one interested in the Wind Power or Renewable Energy business.
