Download or read book Wind Energy for the Rest of Us written by Paul Gipe and published by Wind-Works.Org. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wind Energy for the Rest of Us is a sprawling book. It's not just about small wind turbines. It's not just about large wind turbines. It's about the depth and breadth of wind energy, including water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. From how to install small wind turbines safely to how farmers in Indiana can earn millions of dollars in revenue by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines, it's a book hard to categorize. This suits Paul Gipe. He likes to think he's hard to categorize after four decades in renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces electricity rebels for the first time-- the trailblazers who have launched a renewable energy revolution by taking power into their own hands."--
Download or read book Wind Energy Basics written by Paul Gipe and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of clean, renewable power is without question going to be the defining challenge and goal of the 21st century, and wind will lead the way. Internationally acclaimed wind energy expert Paul Gipe is as soberly critical of past energy mistakes as he is convincingly optimistic about the future. The overwhelming challenge of transforming our world from one of fossil carbon to one of clean power seems daunting at best—and paralyzingly impractical at worst. Wind Energy Basics offers a solution. Wind power can realistically not only replace the lion’s share of oil-, coal-, and naturalgas– fired electrical plants in the U.S., but also can add enough extra power capacity to allow for most of the cars in the nation to run on electricity. Gipe explains why such a startlingly straightforward solution is eminently doable and can be accomplished much sooner than previously thought—and will have the capacity to resuscitate small and regional economies. Wind Energy Basics offers a how-to for home-based wind applications, with advice on which wind turbines to choose and which to avoid. He guides wind-energy installers through considerations such as renewable investment strategies and gives cautionary tales of wind applications gone wrong. And for the activist, he suggests methods of prodding federal, state, and provincial governments to promote energy independence.

Homeowners, ranchers, and small businesses can use wind-generated electricity to reduce their utility bills. Glossaries and acronym lists describe confusing wind energy terms. For more than 25 years, the Wind Energy Program, one element of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technology Program (WHTP) under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), has been a central component of the Nation's efforts to advance wind energy technology for large utility-scale and smaller distributed wind technologies. The Wind Program has worked in close partnership with industry and the national laboratories to expand the wind energy technology base and foster innovation, culminating in some of industry's leading products today. The program has also created a family of internationally recognized wind turbine design tools that have led industry, utility, and government agencies in cooperative efforts to promote integration and acceptance of wind energy as a substantial contributor to meeting the Nation's energy needs.

Book excerpt: In the wake of mass blackouts and energy crises, wind power remains a largely untapped resource of renewable energy. It is a booming worldwide industry whose technology, under the collective wing of aficionados like author Paul Gipe, is coming of age. Wind Power guides us through the emergent, sometimes daunting discourse on wind technology, giving frank explanations of how to use wind technology wisely and sound advice on how to avoid common mistakes. Since the mid-1970s, Paul Gipe has played a part in nearly every aspect of wind energy’s development—from installing small turbines to promoting wind energy worldwide. As an American proponent of renewable energy, Gipe has earned the acclaim and respect of European energy specialists for years, but his arguments have often fallen on deaf ears at home. Today, the topic of wind power is cropping up everywhere from the beaches of Cape Cod to the Oregon-Washington border, and one wind turbine is capable of producing enough electricity per year to run 200 average American households. Now, Paul Gipe is back to shed light on this increasingly important energy source with a revised edition of Wind Power. Over the course of his career, Paul Gipe has been a proponent, participant, observer, and critic of the wind industry. His experience with wind has given rise to two previous books on the subject, Wind Energy Basics and Wind Power for Home and Business, which have sold over 50,000 copies. Wind Power for Home and Business has become a staple for both homeowners and professionals interested in the subject, and now, with energy prices soaring, interest in wind power is hitting an all-time high. With chapters on output and economics, Wind Power discloses how much you can expect from each method of wind technology, both in terms of energy and financial savings. The book’s updated models, graphics, and weighty appendixes make it an invaluable reference for everyone interested in the emerging trend of wind power and renewable energy. Executive Director of the American Wind Energy Association Randall Swisher has said, "In the last two decades, no one has done more that Paul Gipe to bring wind energy to the public’s attention."

Download or read book Building an Offshore Wind Farm written by Jochem Tacx and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source which can be converted into electricity using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. Windspeed and direction are more consistent offshore than they are onshore and consequently, offshore wind farms are built progressively. Statistics from Wind Europe confirm that 2018 counted a total of 4,543 installed and grid connected offshore turbines in Europe corresponding to a total of capacity of 18,499 MW.The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm is the first book available to the public to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. The book draws on the author's experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms. It also specifies the type of installation vessels used for the specific installations, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site.This book is a valuable educational investment designed with graphics and figures along with corresponding project photos which creates an easy read and provides the readers with a quick, but yet deep understanding on the respective installation phases.The authors, Jochem Tacx and Integrated-TIS:Jochem T. started his career working at the shipyard Keppel Verolme, in the port of Rotterdam, and later specializing within the transport and installation of heavy, high value and oversized project equipment. During his career Jochem has represented the interest of the main clients and first-tier contractors by fulfilling all aspects of project- and related QHSE management. His career enabled him to work on all phases of the respective offshore wind farm installations including the installation of the foundations, laying of the submarine power cables and installing the wind turbines.Integrated-TIS is an international service provider for the energy industry specialized within the transport and installation of heavy, high value and high volume industrial components. Integrated-TIS provides project consulting, project management and client representation for all respective transport, installation and construction phases of any given project.
