Wind Power Market and Economic Trends (Energy Science, Engineering and Technology)

Distributed wind energy systems provide clean, renewable power for on-site use and help relieve pressure on the power grid while providing jobs and contributing to energy security for homes, farms, schools, factories, private and public facilities, distribution utilities, and remote locations. This book explores the distributed wind market potential from a domestic and international perspective with greater confidence in the number of units installed for the domestic market and evaluates which wholesale electricity market-structure characteristics best accommodate wind energy.
