Reliability and Safety Engineering
by
Reliability and safetyare core issues that must be addressed throughout the life cycle of engineeringsystems. Reliability and Safety Engineering presents an overview of the basicconcepts, together with simple and practical illustrations. The authors presentreliability terminology in various engineering fields, viz., electronicsengineering, software engineering, mechanical engineering, structuralengineering and power systems engineering. The book describes the latestapplications in the area of probabilistic safety assessment, such as technicalspecification optimization, risk monitoring and risk informed in-serviceinspection. Reliability and safety studies must, inevitably, deal withuncertainty, so the book includes uncertainty propagation methods: Monte Carlosimulation, fuzzy arithmetic, Dempster-Shafer theory and probability bounds.Reliability and Safety Engineering also highlights advances in system reliabilityand safety assessment including dynamic system modeling and uncertaintymanagement. Case studies from typical nuclear power plants as well as fromstructural, software and electronic systems are also discussed. Reliability and SafetyEngineering combines discussions of theexisting literature on basic conceptsand applications with state-of-the-art methods used in reliability and riskassessment of engineering systems. It is designed to assist practicingengineers, students and researchers in the areas of reliability engineering andrisk analysis.

Wind Energy-- the Facts
by
Wind power is often held up as the most accessible and cost-effective route to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and improving our energy independence, yet knowledge of what it offers is often clouded by myths and misunderstandings, which can hamper its adoption. This new book, the result of an ambitious project coordinated by the European Wind Energy Association, aims to present the facts about wind energy. It includes six sections discussing: - Technology - Grid integration - Economics of wind - Its industry and markets - Its environmental impacts - The scenarios and targets for wind energyContributions are drawn from nine leading research bodies across Europe, and the material is global in its scope. It is therefore an essential resource and reference for those whose work or study demands an in-depth examination of the subject, and for anyone who wants detailed, accurate and up-to-date information on this key energy source.
Wind Energy Handbook
by
Fully updated and authoritative reference to wind energy technology written by leading academic and industry professionals The newly revised Third Edition of the Wind Energy Handbook delivers a fully updated treatment of key developments in wind technology since the publication of the book's Second Edition in 2011. The criticality of wakes within wind farms is addressed by the addition of an entirely new chapter on wake effects, including 'engineering' wake models and wake control. Offshore, attention is focused for the first time on the design of floating support structures, and the new 'PISA' method for monopile geotechnical design is introduced. The coverage of blade design has been completely rewritten, with an expanded description of laminate fatigue properties and new sections on manufacturing methods, blade testing, leading-edge erosion and bend-twist coupling. These are complemented by new sections on blade add-ons and noise in the aerodynamics chapters, which now also include a description of the Leishman-Beddoes dynamic stall model and an extended introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. The importance of the environmental impact of wind farms both on- and offshore is recognized by expanded coverage, and the requirements of the Grid Codes to ensure wind energy plays its full role in the power system are described. The conceptual design chapter has been extended to include a number of novel concepts, including low induction rotors, multiple rotor structures, superconducting generators and magnetic gearboxes. References and further reading resources are included throughout the book and have been updated to cover the latest literature. As in previous editions, the core subjects constituting the essential background to wind turbine and wind farm design are covered. These include: The nature of the wind resource, including geographical variation, synoptic and diurnal variations, and turbulence characteristics The aerodynamics of horizontal axis wind turbines, including the actuator disc concept, rotor disc theory, the vortex cylinder model of the actuator disc and the Blade-Element/Momentum theory Design loads for horizontal axis wind turbines, including the prescriptions of international standards Alternative machine architectures The design of key components Wind turbine controller design for fixed and variable speed machines The integration of wind farms into the electrical power system Wind farm design, siting constraints, and the assessment of environmental impact Perfect for engineers and scientists learning about wind turbine technology, the Wind Energy Handbook will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students taking courses on wind turbines and wind energy, as well as industry professionals whose work requires a deep understanding of wind energy technology.
