	LILI: wind & solar electricity - a practical DIY guide Andy Reynolds The author has been providing his own electricity from the sun and the wind for many years, and in this book he explains how you can do the same. There are chapters on the various system components required (including inverters and charge controllers), how to put them all together, batteries, grid-connected systems, and there is even a basic electricity primer. Andy has analysed the output of his system for over 10 years, and these real-life figures are included. 200pp click on image for contents page wholesale purchases more on wind energy Price: £9.95

	how to build a wind turbine: the axial flux windmill plans Hugh Piggott This fantastic and highly recommended publication is a 64 page A4 booklet containing full step-by-step instructions for building your own 'axial flux' alternator, carving the blades and welding a frame, to complete an 8 foot diameter, 3-bladed, battery-charging wind generator (12, 24 or 48 volts DC). Larger and smaller projects are also briefly described. There are full lists of materials, suppliers and tools for the job. The design is based on the author's 25 years of experience building, and teaching people to build small wind turbines using the minimum of workshop technology. 64pp click on image for contents page more on wind energy Price: £10.00

	small-scale wind power generation: a practical guide Jamie Bull & Gavin Harper This comprehensive book presents a thorough analysis of the wind turbine technology that is suitable for use on a small scale and presents an overview of the process of installation. Covering both small-scale on- and off-grid installations, Small-Scale Wind Power Generation is essential reading for all those wanting to use wind power to produce clean energy: it will help them to understand the nature of the wind in their area, to appraise potential sites and to assess the likely capacity of any wind power turbines that are installed. The authors also discuss the computer software that is suitable for predicting the likely financial benefits and provide valuable information about how to assess the economic viability of wind installation and how to calculate the resultant carbon savings. 160pp hardback more on wind energy Price: £14.99

	community-led wind power Sharenergy Here's a freebie for you. It's about how to plan, build and own a medium or large wind turbine in your community’s backyard. Published by sharenergy.coop, it's intended to give community groups considering a community-owned wind project a head start and overview of the big issues. It's not intended to be a comprehensive manual. Indeed such a thing is perhaps impossible as all projects are different. It is designed to avoid re-inventing the wheel and to raise the level of overall understanding of community wind, to educate and inspire. There are links to further resources in the support section. free download more on wind energy


	small wind systems for rural energy services Smail Khennas, Simon Dunnett, Hugh Piggott This title provides a guide to setting up wind business services to meet the basic needs of households without grid electricity, written for developing countries, but applicable worldwide. It deals with all aspects of promoting wind energy for domestic end uses, as well as giving a guide to needs assessment, resource assessment, the economics of small wind machines and technology choice. 64pp click on image for contents page more on wind energy Price: £12.95

	water and wind power Martin Watts Martin Watts traces the use of water and wind power in Britain and Ireland from the earliest times to the present. The author explains how windmills and watermills function and examines some of the uses to which they have been put. From Roman times water power was used to grind grain, raise water, and later to work metals, produce cloth and serve a great number of trades and industries. This book is about these first engines: the technology, the rationales and some of the personalities involved. 136pp more on wind energy Price: £9.99

	wind energy handbook Tony Burton, David Sharpe, Nick Jenkins & Ervin Bossanyi The authoritative reference on wind energy, now fully revised and updated to include offshore wind power A decade on from its first release, the Wind Energy Handbook, Second Edition, reflects the advances in technology underpinning the continued expansion of the global wind power sector. Harnessing their collective industrial and academic expertise, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to wind turbine design and wind farm planning for onshore and offshore wind-powered electricity generation. The major change since the first edition is the addition of a new chapter on offshore wind turbines and offshore wind farm development. Opening with a survey of the present state of offshore wind farm development, the chapter goes on to consider resource assessment and array losses. Then wave loading on support structures is examined in depth, including wind and wave load combinations and descriptions of applicable wave theories. After sections covering optimum machine size and offshore turbine reliability, the different types of support structure deployed to date are described in turn, with emphasis on monopiles, including fatigue analysis in the frequency domain. 780pp more on wind energy Price: £90.00
