Wind Resource Assessment and Micro-siting

Covers all the key areas of wind resource assessment technologies from an engineer’s perspective.

Key Features:

• Focuses on wind analysis for wind plant siting, design, and analysis.
• Addresses all aspects from atmospheric boundary layer characteristics, to wind resource measurement systems, uncertainties in measurements, computations, and analyses, to plant performance.
• Covers the basics of atmospheric science through to turbine siting, turbine responses, and to environmental impacts.
• Contents can be used for research purposes as well as a go-to reference guide, written from the perspective of a hands-on engineer.
• Topic is of ongoing major international interest for its economic and environmental benefits.

The book Wind Resource Assessment and Micro-siting by Matthew Huaiquan Zhang serves as both an academic resource and a practical guide for engineers invested in advancing wind energy technologies.
