Book Wind Energy Essentials

Download or read book Wind Energy Essentials written by Richard P. Walker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the possible societal impacts of wind energy projects and explains the potential issues faced when siting, constructing, and operating a wind energy project. This book begins with a history of wind power and the social impacts of both electricity and wind power from a historical perspective, a discussion of basic electrical terms, and a primer on the conversion of power in the wind to electricity. Much of the second half of the book is devoted to comparing wind energy to other forms of electric generation, both renewable and non-renewable sources. In order to have a true understanding of the impact of wind energy on society, one also has to have a thorough understanding of the impacts that other sources of electric generation have, such as fossil-fuelled plants or nuclear power plants. The comparison of electric generation sources includes a review of how such sources are typically utilized within the electric system, as well as the economic factors and environmental considerations that affect which resources utilities or operators of electric grids have to take into account. The authors conclude with a discussion of energy policies in the U.S., individual states, and foreign nations, how these policies influence the use of renewable energy, and what our future may hold in terms of energy supply and demand. Some highlights of this book are: Discusses the wind energy impacts on the environment, local economy, electric utilities, individuals and communities Provides a visual explanation of wind energy principles through tables, graphs, maps, illustrations and photographs Offers a comprehensive overview of the issues associated with the creation and use of wind energy Models chapters around an existing university curriculum Spanning the broad range of environmental, financial, policy and other topics that define and determine the relationships between wind energy technology and our energy-dependent society, Wind Energy Essentials is a resource for students, universities, and the entire wind energy industry.

Book Greening the Wind

Download or read book Greening the Wind written by George C. Ledec and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind power is widely regarded as a key component of an environmentally sustainable, low-carbon energy future because it is renewable, requires almost no water, and generates near-zero emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Nonetheless, wind power development can involve significant environmental and social impacts that need to be fully recognized and appropriately managed. Of particular concern are (i) biodiversity-related impacts upon birds, bats, and natural habitats; (ii) visual impacts, noise, radar and telecommunications interference, and other local nuisance impacts; and (iii) land acquisition, benefits-sharing, indigenous communities, and other socio-economic and cultural issues. This book, Greening the Wind: Environmental and Social Considerations for Wind Power Development in Latin America and Beyond, describes the key environmental and social impacts that are associated with large-scale, grid-connected wind power development. It builds upon recent World Bank experience with wind power development in Latin America and other regions where wind power is growing rapidly. The book describes good practices and provides advice for the planning, construction, and operation of land-based wind power projects in ways that can (i) avoid significant harm to birds, bats, and natural habitats; (ii) manage visual and other local impacts in ways acceptable to most stakeholders; and (iii) effectively address compensation, benefits-sharing, and socio-cultural concerns. It provides information to enable wind project investors and operators, governments, development organizations, researchers, NGOs, and others to support wind power with reduced adverse environmental and social impacts-thereby enhancing the long-term sustainability of this renewable energy technology. Specific chapters cover (i) key characteristics and trends in wind power development; (ii) making wind power safer for biodiversity; and (iii) addressing the social impacts of wind power development.

Book Wind Power Integration

Download or read book Wind Power Integration written by Brendan Fox and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book attempts to provide a solid grounding in all significant aspects of wind power integration for engineers in a variety of disciplines. Thus a mechanical engineer will learn sufficient electrical power engineering to understand wind farm voltage regulation and fault ride-through problems; while an electrical engineer will benefit from the treatment of wind turbine aerodynamics. They will both wish to understand electricity markets, and in particular how wind energy is likely to fare. The introductory chapter charts the remarkable growth of wind energy since 1990. The various technical options for wind power extraction are outlined. This chapter then goes on to describe the potential problems of large-scale wind integration, and outlines some possible solutions. The second chapter is essentially an electrical power engineering primer, which will enable non-electrical engineers to cope with the concepts presented in Chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 3 deals with wind turbine generator technology, with particular attention being paid to current variable-speed designs. Chapter 4 is concerned with wind farm connection, and the implications for network design - an area lacking an established methodology to deal with variable generation. Chapter 5 addresses the key issue of power system operation in the presence of largely unpredictable wind power with limited scope for control. Energy storage provides a tempting solution; the treatment here concentrates on realistic, low-cost options and imaginative use of existing pumped storage plant. The importance of wind power forecasting is emphasised, and forms the main theme of Chapter 6. The encouraging progress in the last decade is described. Ensemble forecasting offers a useful operational tool, not least by providing the system operator with an indication of forecast reliability. Finally, Chapter 7 summarises the main types of electricity market, and discusses the prospects for wind power trading. The main renewable energy support schemes are explained and discussed.
