They have condensed more than two decades of working with and writing about wind energy into Wind Power: Renewable Energy for Home, Farm, and Business. An in depth revision of his successful earlier book, Wind Power, They has tapped his extensive experience with both small wind turbines and commercial wind power plants in North and South America, Europe, and the South Pacific for a one-of-a form book on wind energy and how to make use of it.

There's new to wind energy than massive wind power plants. Wind turbines, large and small, can be used in applications distributed across the landscaping, says they in his new book.

In Denmark, as an example, three-fourths of the country's wind generation is created by wind turbines owned and operated by individuals or small cooperatives that generate electricity for their own initiative needs and sell the excess to the local utility. These wind turbines are the same as those used in California's wind plants, except that they are surely distributed across the countryside instead of concentrated in one location. Wind energy has proven so accepted in Denmark that nearly five percent of the population owns a wind turbine, or a part of one.

Denmark generates nearly 20% of its electricity with wind. Germany, with the world's third largest industrial economy, now supplies 4% of its electricity from wind turbines. In the province of Ostfriesland, new than 50% of the electricity is created by wind turbines, many built locally by one of the world's largest manufacturers.

Small wind turbines play their part as well. On the French overseas territory of Île la Desirade, household-size wind turbines generate extra electricity than can be consumed locally and the surplus is exported to the island of Guadeloupe.

Similarly, a classic French wind turbine provides essential electricity to a remote ranger station on Chile's wind-swept Patagonian steppes to safeguard the rare Magellan penguins.

The Wind Power new book includes chapters on how to evaluate modern wind turbine technology, how to install wind turbines safely, how to style a stand-alone power system for living off-the-grid, and the way to use electricity-producing wind turbines to pump water in rural areas. The extensive appendix includes easy to use tables for estimating the annual energy output of any wind turbine anywhere in the world, and lists manufacturers of wind turbines worldwide.

While the book maintains its give attention to small and household-size wind turbines, the restructure broadens its scope to include medium-size and large wind turbines, in addition to some wind farms.
Wind Power is profusely illustrated with other than 200 charts, line drawings, and photographs.

Wind Power is the most comprehensive, non-academic book on the subject of wind energy in English. Written for the layman, Wind Power contains sufficient scientific and engineering detail for beginning specialists as well.
