Wind Resource Assessment and Micro-siting: Science and Engineering

• 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
