Books on Wind Energy (offshore)

AI Thread Summary
Research on offshore wind turbines is focused on finding in-depth resources covering aerodynamics, generators, and power electronics, particularly the impact of 3rd harmonics on output signals. There is a need for books that also address the civil engineering aspects of offshore wind turbine structures. Recommendations include AWEA's "Introduction to Utility Scale Wind Turbines" for electrical concepts, though more specialized texts are sought. The discussion emphasizes the importance of UK regulations in the context of offshore wind energy. Overall, the quest for comprehensive literature on these topics remains a priority for the research.

Hello,
I am doing research on on wind turbines and especially on offshore wind turbines for my MSc dissertation. My first degree is on electrical engineering so I have a basic knowledge on the matter I believe. I am looking for some books that can provide an in depth analysis on the aerodynamics, generators, power electronics etc. I have already found some books but they mainly refer to some basic concepts and configurations, what I want is for instance how 3rd harmonics affect the output signal etc. In addition to this I would like to know if there are books on the structure of the offshore wind turbines (civil engineering aspect), on which I have no grasp whatsoever.

(I am mostly interested in the UK regulations)

Any information will be much appreciated!

Regards.

i don't know if these will help.

i found AWEA's 'introduction to utility scale wind turbines' helpful start on electrical side,

perhaps there's a similar one on your subject.

Thanks a lot for this. I actually have a couple of these books.
