Wind Energy Handbook
A deep look into the wind energy and wind conversion. Very extensive and deep into details considering the wind power technical aspects. I strongly advise for those in the technical wind energy area dealing with it.
Rating: 4 / 5
For anyone interested in wind energy this book is a must. When first take a look at the book you get pretty frightened but just let time go by while you get acquainted with more topics dealing with wind energy and you’ll like it. The only thing left to say is thanks to the authors. the more you reckon you know about something the more you realise that you’re not even half way there….

I have read many similar books, I have also read much of the latest literature on wind turbine aerodynamics. Thus, I can say that of all the books written on wind turbines this book is written at the highest level. Much of the content within this book reflects what is best theory for practicle wind turbine engineering. Very indepth analysis of the aerodynamics and clarifies a lot of the concepts in fantastic detail, where other books will gloss over. There are some things that readers should be aware of, first this book is only for people serious about wind turbine engineering. It is written at a level where some engineering knowledge is needed. I would recomend it for graduate students and proffesionals, but not for part time enthusiasts and hobyists.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book was written by people who spent their lives for something they loved. Their passion is evident from the in depth analysis and their personal contribution to many aspects of the presented theory.
This book is highly recommended to engineers and students, but it might not be very useful to people with limited engineering knowledge.
And a personal comment: If you are a Mechanical, of Aeronautical engineer fascinated by aerodynamics, David Sharp’s section will surly challenge and intrigue you…
