Sguarezi Filho and Ernesto Ruppert Preface Wind energy is one of the most prominent renewable energy sources today. The increasing concerns with environmental issues are driving the search for more sustainable electrical sources. Wind energy along with solar energy, biomass and wave energy are possible solutions for environmentally friendly energy production. The initialization of wind power installation, which started in the beginning of 1980s, is very much related to the oil crises of the mid 1970s. During the 1980s, most wind power installations were limited to a few hundred kilowatts. The small size of those installations did not threaten the power system stability. The 1990s marked an important breakthrough in the industry. New concepts emerged because of the demand for more efficient power production and because of the necessity to comply with power quality requirements. During the 1990s, wind turbines grew in size and production, from just a few hundred kilowatts to megawatts. This book focuses on Weibull Distributioin, Environmental hydraulics, power system control, wind turbine generators etc. The successful completion of this book has been the result of the co-operation and input by numerous people. I wish to both acknowledge and express my gratitude to all of them. Since the inception of this work to its final stages, I have been privileged to find guidance, support and strength from Prof. (Dr.) P.K.Bose, Director, National Institute of Technology, Agartala, Tripura and Prof. (Dr.) B.B. Ghosh, Ex-Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur who are highly distinguished personalities in their own field. I feel highly indebted and find a great pleasure in expressing my deep sense of gratitude to both of them. I am thankful to our publishers InTech for the painstaking efforts and cooperation in bringing out this book in a short span of time. VIII Preface Finally, I am also thankful to all my well wishers and friends who encouraged me directly or indirectly for this work. My life long thanks to my wife Mrs. Indrani, my son Priyotosh, who bear with me in my good and worst period of my life.
