N - 164 | More Straw Bale Building: A Complete Guide to Designing and Building with Straw by Chris Magwood, Peter Mack

/ in , , , , / with No comments /

Straw bale houses are easy to build, affordable, super energy efficient, environmentally friendly, attractive, and can be designed to match the builder’s personal space needs, esthetics and budget. Despite mushrooming interest in the technique, however, most straw bale books focus on “selling” the dream of straw bale building, but don’t adequately address the most critical issues faced by bale house builders. Moreover, since many developments in this field are recent, few books are completely up to date with the latest techniques.

SC - 1289 | Small Wind Turbines for Electricity and Irrigation: Design and Construction

/ in , , , , / with No comments /

Mario Alejandro Rosato

This practical book deals with the technology of small-power wind turbines as opposed to widely diffused industrial wind turbines and wind farms.
 It covers the most common wind turbine technologies in the small power segment: horizontal axis both for electrical generation and water pumping, vertical axis of the Darrieus type, and vertical axis of the Savonius type.

SC - 1288 | Innovation in wind turbine design

/ in , , , , / with No comments /

Peter Jamieson

"Innovation in Wind Turbine Design covers the basics of design and the reasons behind design choices, as well as the methodology for evaluating innovative systems and components, always referencing a state of the art system for comparison. Thus the reader is able to understand current technology and the reasoning behind progress to date, before assessing where it can go in the future. It discusses the basics, as well as how to apply existing engineering knowledge to further technology.Innovation in Wind Turbine Design is divided into three main sections: introduction, design background and technology evaluation.

SC - 1287 | Design of Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines

/ in , , , , / with No comments /

Subhamoy Bhattacharya

Design of Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines is a comprehensive reference which covers the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines, and includes examples and case studies. It provides an overview of a wind farm and a wind turbine structure, and examines the different types of loads on the offshore wind turbine structure. Foundation design considerations and the necessary calculations are also covered. The geotechnical site investigation and soil behavior/soil structure interaction are discussed, and the final chapter takes a case study of a wind turbine and demonstrates how to carry out step by step calculations.

Martin O. L. Hansen

Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is the established essential text for the fundamental solutions to efficient wind turbine design. Now in its third edition, it has been substantially updated with respect to structural dynamics and control. The new control chapter now includes details on how to design a classical pitch and torque regulator to control rotational speed and power, while the section on structural dynamics has been extended with a simplified mechanical system explaining the phenomena of forward and backward whirling modes. Readers will also benefit from a new chapter on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT).

SC - 1285 | Advances in wind turbine blade design and materials

/ in , , , , / with No comments /

Povl Brondsted, Rogier P L Nijssen

The size of wind turbine blades has gotten larger over time, in order to achieve the highest efficiency energy conversion possible.  At the same time, to increase the penetration and utilization of sustainable wind power, the use of natural and bio-based materials has grown in popularity. All of these issues present challenges in terms of the design, manufacture and operation of wind turbine blades.
