Wind Power

摘要

Peter Musgrove has both academic and commercial expertise in wind power from its modern beginnings in the 1970s. He is able to write textbooks or business guides, or indeed an autobiography of experience. In this book he does none of these. Wind power is a fully researched and carefully referenced story to be read page by page as an integrated whole. For the enthusiast, it is a thriller. Yes, he explains the basic mechanical engineering theory of wind turbines and he points clearly to key aspects of technical innovation, yet these academic points (Musgrove was a Reader in mechanical engineering at Reading University) are never dominant as the story progresses.
