Electromechanical Principles of Wind Turbines for Wind Energy
Technicians is
the first textbook of its kind in the industry written in layman's terms to
teach those wanting to work in the dynamic emerging field of wind energy.
Wind energy is an environmentally friendly renewable resource which uses
more than 300-foot-high turbines to power generators. According to a U.S. Department of
Energy initiative, the nation will need to use wind energy to produce 20
percent of its electricity by 2030. To meet that projection, an estimated
175,000 technicians are needed to service the turbines and meet the demands
of this growing field. Topics covered include everything from safety on the
job to the mechanics of wind farms and turbines. In-depth pictures, diagrams
and review exercises help prepare you for a lucrative and satisfying career
as a wind energy technician. Coming Soon! TechCareers: Wind Energy
