Book Reviews of Wind Energy Basics: A Guide to Small and Micro Wind Systems
Book Review: Paul Gipe has done a good job as usual.
Summary: 5 Stars
Paul Gipe has many years experience of keeping right on top of developments in this rapidly changing field. As always, he presents a thoughtful and detailed report. His independent perspective will be invaluable to newcomers to the subject, who may have been bombarded with sales propaganda by the small wind turbine industry. What wind turbines can do, how much it will cost, what are the other issues to consider... it's all there, in detail. This book prepares the reader to calculate how much energy he/she may harvest, from a planned wind installation. Then it spells out how to tackle the job of erecting the machine in a practical, down-to-earth way. Paul Gipe demystifies the unfamiliar world of small scale wind energy and makes it accessible to those who wish to enjoy it.
