Consulting on Wind Turbines, Wind Turbine Patents, Wind Tunnels,
and Technical Writing











DASCON Engineering and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers now bring you the definitive text and reference book on wind energy -- updated and enlarged to meet the needs of today's wind power industry:
 Wind Turbine Technology, Second Edition
Fundamental Concepts in Wind Turbine Engineering
David A. Spera, Ph.D., Editor/Author










Reviewer Comments:“One of its great strengths is that each chapter is written by an expert in their particular field. Whilst this is not an uncommon practice in technical books, Dr. Spera has managed to edit Wind Turbine Technology so well that the book had a real coherence and unified style. It reads more like a book written by a single author.” 

“In reading this you get a real sense of just how much is out there for wind energy knowledge. As such it is an excellent start for someone aspiring to be wind energy professional. The depth of the book is good; each of the contributing authors is an author in their respective field, so there is good amount of analysis and content in each area. Well written and an excellent reference. “

“As well as being a wonderful primary source on wind technology I also still find myself reading and re-reading the opening chapters on the history of the development of wind power through the centuries with great enjoyment.” 




A must-have for the wind-power professional! WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGY is recognized worldwide as the authoritative guide to state-of-the-art wind turbine engineering. If you are an energy planner, engineer, designer, utility project manager, wind power station developer, manufacturer of wind turbine equipment, teacher, or student, WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGY has all the latest information for you.
