Average Customer Ratings:
Wind energy today is a booming worldwide industry. The technology has truly come of age, with better, more reliable machinery and a greater understanding of how and where wind power makes sense--from the independent homestead to a grid-connected utility-wide perspective. Heightened concerns about our environment mean that this resurgence of interest in wind--a natural and widespread power source--is here to stay. Wind Power is the completely revised and expanded edition of Paul Gipe's definitive 1993 book, Wind Power for Home and Business. In addition to expanded sections on gauging wind resources and siting wind turbines, this edition includes new examples and case studies of successful wind systems, international sources for new and used equipment, and hundreds of color photographs and illustrations.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Very god book but.......... - 
This book is very good but the author need to go first from the general to the particular, specially in formulas. Going first from the particular then later jumping to the general formulas make the understanding kind of confusing.
Also the formulas are written in smaller fonts than that used in the wording text, for me some times were difficult to read. I rather would save some space in some many post card type pictures and and use it for bigger fonts in the formulas.
Other than this, the book is very good for a general understanding of wing power generation technology with so many graphs, tables, information, references and.... pictures.

Almost one stop shopping -
Paul Gipe has provided a thoroughly readable text presenting all details necessary for selecting and managing a windfarm. It is clear that he has dedicated his life to this technology.
This text provides charts and equations for sizing windmills. It includes numerous recommendations for selecting vendors and contractors for installing a windmill, and lots of maintenance details. What I found particularly interesting was his descriptions of past failures and why they failed. He warns you of danger signals when buying a windmill such as:
The maximum capacity for generating electricity from a windmill is determined by its rotor not its generator.
I am still in the process of reading this massive text but the first 200 pages have been enlightening. I highly recommend this text for anyone involved in establishing a windfarm for municipalities and others. This is a must read.
If this review was helpful, please add your vote. Thanks.
Blown away with all this information -
This is a very technical book. Loads of details. Eye opening for any amature thinking "Oh, I'll just get a windmill and I won't have any more electric bills!" Worth reading if you really want to produce green electricity. You need considerable land, about a year's worth the wind data for your particular site, more than a few thousand bucks, and even then, you may still find that it won't pay for itself. One thing I didn't think about is that ice can form on the blades and fling off- hitting your home, a neighbor's home, or a car...
Is it a good book? Yes. Very clear, complete information on the topic.
Zero to Sixty (mph) in One Week -
Are you starting from zero knowledge regarding wind energy? Do you want to get up to full speed in a reasonable amount of time? If yes, then this is definitely the book for you. Paul Gipe has captured the essence of not only the fundamental technology but also the industry in general. Once done with this book, you will have the cranial capital to dig deeper into the engineering, the municipal or national scene, or the fundamentals of financing including energy-cash flow analysis. There is plenty of nitty-gritty for whatever side of the technology you prefer to understand, including building your own system. And there are many specific and anecdotal examples to support the many scenarios described. Yours is sure to be one of them. To paraphrase the late Abby Hoffman - *Buy This Book* You'll be up to 60 mph (26.8 meters/second) in no time.
