Wind Power

2005
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses wind power, wind turbines, rotor and tower design, generator, and the related environmental considerations. Wind is the movement of air in response to the pressure differences within the atmosphere. Wind energy can be considered to be a form of solar energy.

Wind power in Denmark! Wind power in Sweden?

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1988
Abstract It is now fifteen years since the oil crisis started the hunt for “new” energy sources. In Denmark and Sweden modern national wind energy programmes started around 1975 to investigate the possibilities for using wind power and eventually erect windmills.

Power System Impacts of Wind Power

2012
This chapter focuses on the wind integration studies - what is studied and how the studies are made. The chapter is subdivided into sections covering the main set-up for the studies, methodologies and results. A look on recommended practices and future work is made.

Power system requirements for wind power

2005
The power system requirements for wind power mainly depend on the power system configuration, the installed wind power capacity, and how the wind power production varies. Wind resources vary on every time scale: seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years. On all these time scales, the varying wind resources affect the power system.

WIND POWER

1986
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the wind power technology and applications. Medium sized wind turbines have to be used in connection with a large electrical grid. These machines have a turbine diameter of 7–17 m and a power output of 10–75 kW. Wind energy can only be economical in areas of good wind availability.

Working with wind - wind power

Engineering & Technology, 2008
The increased availability of wind power is beginning to cause utilities problems as engineers attempt to synchronise the power grid. Utilities have tended to ignore the operational aspects of wind power until there are commercial pressures to take positive action.
