Produktbeschreibung

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Wind power is one of the fastest developing sources of renewable energy. It makes substantial contributions to power grids around the globe, and it promises to play a prominent role in the world's future energy security. Given that reality, there is an ongoing need for research that investigates the potential of specific regions for wind-farm development, combined with the social, economic, and environmental impacts of that development. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and university-level students investigating this expanding field of study.
