Presents the status and history of wind energy in various countries.
"The book's richly facetted stories describing stages of the development of modern wind industry from the early stage till now (part 1) and reviews of wind power history and status quo in selected countries (part 2) are presented by 56 international experts from various areas of the renewable energy sector. In the second part of the book "International Reviews and Developments", we collected reports and overviews of wind power status and history in various countries. The uphill struggle; wind energy strategies and policies that paved the way; the creative persons in politics, agencies, institutes, the industry; the world societies at large, and how the challenges found a solution in different countries at the end are the main issues. Several of contributing authors are seniors who have made it all the way. Early they were involved in their home countries, at the international scene, at the scientific, engineering, organisational or political level and have made valuable contributions to the successful emergence of wind power. Without their professionalism, dedication and persistency wind power still might have been in its infancy. With rising global climate and resource crisis and increasing energy prices, time worked for wind energy as well while an astonishing technological development and reduced costs of equipment gradually made wind energy a realistic substitute for the conventional fossil fuels. The visionary persons that created the way out of the feared fossil fuel and uranium trap have interesting stories to tell."--Publisher's description.
