Description:
Wind energy is now seriously being considered as a possible alternative to current power sources. The number of wind farms both in the UK and worldwide are increasing and research and development into wind energy is being carried out by industry, academic institutions, government research establishments and private investors worldwide. This publication contains 68 papers that were presented at the 18th British Wind Energy Association Conference, held at Exeter University, September 1996. The topics include electricity markets, environmental and public relations, integration, wind turbine design, resource, noise and wind farm performance/design.
