Large Wind Turbines - Design and Economics

Zusatztext "This is a necessary book for all libraries supporting realistic engineering design for commercial development. Moreover many individuals will wish to have it on their shelves for reference and stimulation..." (Wind Engineering! 2001) Informationen zum Autor Robert Pogue Harrison is a professor of literature at Stanford University, where he is Rosina Pierotti Professor in Italian Literature in the Department of French & Italian. Erich Hau is the author of Large Wind Turbines: Design and Economics, published by Wiley. Klappentext Das erste Buch, das die Beziehung zwischen Konstruktionsweise und Kostenfaktoren großer Windturbinen beleuchtet. Der Trend in der Turbinentechnik geht weg von starren, schweren Konstruktionen und hin zu leichter und flexibler Bauweise. Ausgehend von einfachen ingenieurtechnischen Prinzipien, entwickeln die Autoren einen Modellierungsansatz, mit dessen Hilfe sich Gewicht und Kosten von Anlagen verschiedenster Größe abschätzen und somit quantitativ vergleichen lassen. (11/00) Zusammenfassung This work provides coverage of the relationship between the design and cost issues of large wind turbines. Using simple principles of engineering science, the authors develop a model for quantifying the weight and cost of variable machine sizes, enabling quantitative comparisons to be made. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface. Glossary of Symbols. Development of Large Wind Turbines. Wind Turbine Technology and Design Concepts. Design Factors Affecting Weight and Costs.
