How can non-windy places make use of wind power for electricity generation? Advanced Wind Turbines provides detailed information that is of great practical importance to wind turbine practitioners from small and congested city-states, where the lack of vast land and high wind speed render the conventional wind turbine less effective. It introduces the non-conventional Darrieus and Savonius wind turbines, as well as their hybrid version, covering basic concepts, computational modelling and recent advances in experimental optimization.What about those who prefer wind turbines in faraway oceans to take advantage of high wind speed, or who come from countries with a lack of shallow seabed? Floating offshore wind turbines are also discussed, and the dynamics of floating vis-à-vis grounded wind turbines are thoroughly expounded upon to aid practitioners in achieving more accurate performance modelling. This is a work of paramount usefulness for areas which have long wanted to jump on the renewable energy bandwagon, but have thus far been hampered by their natural geographical limitations. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of advanced wind turbine technology, covering the aerodynamic, mechanical, electrical, structural, and control aspects of modern wind energy conversion systems. It discusses wind turbine design principles, blade aerodynamics, drivetrain configurations, power electronics, control strategies, offshore and onshore wind farms, reliability, maintenance, performance optimization, and emerging technologies. The book integrates theoretical concepts with engineering applications and serves as a valuable reference for students, researchers, and practicing engineers working in renewable energy and wind power engineering.
