The Wind Energy Experimenter’s Handbook is a resource for educators and experimenters. It contains experiments and activities focused on wind turbines and their subsystems, to promote learning at a range of levels. Topics of study include generator types and their operation and control, power electronics and grid-integration, blade design and aerodynamic forces, gearboxes and drivetrain health monitoring, and structural components and materials. Theoretical content complements each experiment to ensure a true understanding of experimental observations. Homework and pre-lab assignments are included for preparation of activities.
