The book provides an overview of modern wind turbine technology and an orientation in the associated technical, economic and environmental fields. It is based on the author's experience gained over more than fifteen years designing wind energy converters with a major industrial manufacturer and, more recently, in technical consulting and in the planning of large wind park installations, with special attention to economics. The book addresses all those professionally involved in research, development, manufacture and operation of wind turbines.
