General Momentum Theory for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines by Jens Nørkær Sørensen Pdf
This book reconsiders the basic approaches behind the BEM method and in particular assesses and validates the equations forming the general momentum theory. One part of the book concerns the validation, using numerical fluid mechanics (CFD), of the different terms in the equations forming the momentum theory. Other parts present new ideas for extending the theory and for enhancing the accuracy of the BEM approach. Besides a general introduction and explanation of the momentum theory, the book also deals with specialized topics, such as diffusor-augmented rotors, wind tunnel corrections, tip corrections, and combined momentum/vortex theory for design of wind turbine rotors. The book contains new as well as already published material, and the author has strived to put the material into a new and more consistent context than what usually is found in similar text books. The book is primarily intended for researchers and experienced students with a basic knowledge in fluid mechanics wishing to understand and expand their knowledge on wind turbine aerodynamics. The book is self-consistent, hence all necessary derivations are shown, and it should not be necessary to seek help in other literature to understand the contents of the book.

Theory of the Winds (Classic Reprint) by Charles Wilkes Pdf
Excerpt from Theory of the Winds The theory OF the winds has been so long considered as established, that it is with some hesitation I venture to question it; especially after it has been adopted by many very distinguished men of science. Yet, however presumptuous it may appear, I cannot persuade myself that the received theory is either satisfactory in whole or in part. It will be my endeavour, in this chapter, to exhibit the causes and effects, and to explain them more in accordance with the facts accumulated by observation. In order to place the subject more fully before the reader, I will briefly recite the versions of the present adopted Theory of the Winds.

The Theory of the Winds by Charles Wilkes Pdf
From the INTRODUCTION. "The Theory Of The Winds," which is now for the first time published, has been prepared for several years, and is printed in the Hydrography, being the XVIIth volume of the Government Edition of the United States Exploring Expedition. Many delays incident to the publication of such an extensive work have taken place, both in the preparation, engraving, and printing, which have been beyond the control of those engaged in its superintendence. But, even the part that has been printed is, as it were, a sealed book--for there are only one hundred copies ordered by the Government for the use of the world! In order to remedy this omission, and having officially printed the Hydrography, I feel at liberty to give a part of that volume a wider circulation in the present work, containing the Theory of the Winds, with the addition of Sailing Directions, derived from my own observations, made on the passages of the Exploring Expedition from port to port, during its four years' absence. Annexed to the pamphlet is a Map of the World, showing the extent and direction of the surface winds, -- and on it are traced the most advantageous routes for vessels sailing, whether by the east or west. Among these, I would particularly call the attention of navigators to the new Equatorial route from the China Seas, through the Sooloo Sea, to the eastward, and towards the South Pacific, which will be found explained in the text. Subsequent investigations have served to assure me of the truth of this Theory, based, as it is, upon the laws of nature.

Developing Wind Power Projects by Tore Wizelius Pdf
Wind power is developing rapidly, in terms of both the number of new installations and in interest from stakeholders including policy-makers, NGOs, research scientists, industry and the general public. Unlike the majority of other texts on wind power, which are written primarily for engineers or policy analysts, this book specifically targets those interested in, or planning to develop, wind power projects. Having outlined wind power basics and explained the underlying resource and technology, the author explores the interactions between wind power and society, and the main aspects of project development, including siting, economics and legislation. This book will be an essential reference for professionals developing new sites, government officials and consultants reviewing related applications, and both specialists and non-specialists studying wind power project development.
