Description
Summary:Includes bibliographical references (leaves 120-122). === As renewable energy (RE) sources are increasingly becoming an integral part of the world's power generation capacity, they are becoming more sophisticated and provide a solid platform for power generation today. Wind Energy is the fastest growing RE source. The correct understanding of issues associated with this technology and how to address them is integral in furthering this RE source... The main objective of the work presented in this thesis is the full understanding and implementation of a PM Wind Turbine System.
