Siraj Ahmed (PhD) is Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal. He has more than 20 years of teaching experience and has published/presented more than 50 papers in international and national journals and conferences. Dr. Ahmed has been involved in wind resource assessment exercise at several sites in India and abroad, has delivered several invited lectures and developed the state-of-the-art facilities for anemometry.

"Today, wind energy is one of the most viable options to meet the energy challenges of the world. It is clear, fuel-free, and available in virtually every country in the world. This book covers all the essential engineering principles and best practices of wind energy with clear emphasis on the fundamentals and basic concepts. It explains the state-of-the-art technology of wind energy and describes the latest procedures, theories and techniques.

Key Features :

Discusses recent trends and future prospects.

Discusses characteristics, measurements, quantification and resource assessment of wind.

Analyzes the aerodynamic principles, and design of horizontal and vertical axes wind turbines.

Describes the methodology of siting turbines for modern wind farms, and wind farm designing.

Shows how to assess economic viability of wind energy generation.

Analyzes the impact of wind energy on environment.

This comprehensive book on wind energy is intended as a text for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical/Electrical Engineering and students pursuing Energy Studies. The book should prove equally useful for professionals and practising engineers."
