 | Turbine Design, Selection, and Optimization By Victor Lyatkher Copyright: 2014 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781118720929 | Hardcover | 318 318 pages Price: $195 USD  |
One Line Description
An up-to-date and thorough treatment of the technologies, practical applications, and future of wind power, covering the pros and cons and technical intricacies of various types of wind turbines and wind power prediction.
Audience
Wind engineers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and any technicians or operators working with turbines.
Wind engineers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and any technicians or operators working with turbines.
Description
Wind power is the most mature technology of the major sources of renewable energy that have been developed, and more efficient and cost-effective techologies and materials are constantly being sought for turbines and the equipment used on them. Here is a comprehensive and thorough review of the engineering pros and cons for using different kinds of wind turbines in different areas, including offshore. With a full technical knowledge, engineers, managers, and other decision-makers in the wind energy industry can make more informed decisions about increasing capacity, cost-efficiency, and longevity.
Covering the various types of wind turbines available, such as new collinear windmills, orthogonal turbines, and others, this highly technical treatment of wind turbines offers engineers, students, and researchers insight into the practical applications of these turbines and their potential for maximum efficiency.

Author / Editor Details
Victor Lyatkher is a professor, engineer, and inventor. He was educated in Moscow and Leningrad, and has developed and patented numerous processes and inventions. These deal mainly with renewable energy sources such as tidal power, water turbines, and vertical axis wind turbines. He developed a new method to forecast long-term variations in the Caspian Sea level, and designed a new kind of low head turbine. Mr. Lyatkher has worked for over thirty years in the wind and hydro-power industry. He has received several prizes and awards for his accomplishments, including the Prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Award of the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology, and five medals of the All Union USSR Exhibition, gold, silver and bronze. He has published numerous books on the subject of renewable energy, and was the original inventor of the helical turbine, patented in the USSR in 1983.
