Wind Energy Engineering 2nd Edition

Wind Energy Engineering, 2nd Edition by Trevor Letcher is an authoritative, contemporary guide for engineers, students, planners and policy makers working in the expanding field of wind power. This updated edition blends rigorous engineering principles with real-world applications, making complex topics accessible without sacrificing technical depth.

Begin with clear, engaging explanations of aerodynamic fundamentals and turbine design, then move through wind resource assessment, site selection, and the practicalities of onshore and offshore installation. Coverage of grid integration, control systems, reliability, and lifecycle economics equips readers to evaluate projects across diverse contexts—from windy coastlines in the UK and Europe to emerging offshore programs in Asia and utility-scale farms across North America and Africa.

What sets this edition apart is its balanced focus on engineering detail and applied decision-making. Case studies and performance analysis illustrate how design choices affect energy yield, environmental impact, and project viability. Engineers will find valuable methods for modeling and optimization; students benefit from lucid summaries and worked examples; industry professionals gain a reference for regulatory and economic considerations.

Whether you’re designing a small community turbine or assessing multi-megawatt offshore developments, this book provides the practical tools and global perspective needed to succeed in the renewable energy transition. Clear diagrams, authoritative explanations, and contemporary topics make it an essential resource in any technical library.
