Free Download Onshore Wind Farms: Dynamic Stability and Applications in Hydrogen Production by Kenneth Okedu
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0735422966 | 240 pages | PDF | 16 Mb
Onshore Wind Farms: Dynamic Stability and Applications in Hydrogen Production offers an up-to-date discussion of new technologies and methods for building wind farms and upgrading existing wind turbines. The effective operation of grid-connected wind farms is quite a challenge for grid operators, largely due to the transient nature of wind energy. This book covers improvements in dynamic performance of a grid in combination with other sources including nuclear power, hydropower, and thermal turbines. It investigates the effects of devices and control strategies that potentially improve wind energy capture and stabilize existing fixed-speed wind turbines in grid-connected wind farms.

In 133 BC the tribune Tiberius Gracchus issued his lex agraria to redistribute land amongst veteran soldiers and the poor. In his interesting and perceptive study Nathan Rosenstein re-examines the reasons for this agrarian crisis that Gracchus, so unpopularly, responded to. Past studies have argued that an increase in large plantations manned by a rapidly growing population of slave labourers had damaged Rome’s farmers and small holders. However, Rosenstein argues that there is little archaeological or documentary evidence for this and looks instead to the consequences of warfare, particularly the war against Hannibal. Rosenstein discusses in detail the nature of the Roman family, the amount of labour required to make a success of a farm and, set against this, the consequences of losing that labour (and the potential of fathering the next generation of farmers). Sections also examine methods for quantifying the numbers of men killed in battle or through disease following injury. The numbers are enormous and one can immediately see the difficulty facing the Roman senate of how to replenish the ranks.

Wind farms are an essential component of global renewable energy policy and the action to limit the effects of climate change. There is, however, considerable concern over the impacts of wind farms on wildlife, leading to a wide range of research and monitoring studies, a growing body of literature and several international conferences on the topic.

English | ISBN: 1498508200 | 2016 | 158 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
American Farms, American Food bridges the gap between agricultural production and food studies allowing readers to learn about both subjects up close and in detail. Beyond that, the book provides background on the domestication, breeding, and development of crop plants and livestock that have become the food we eat. Themes such as the family farm, local food production, organic agriculture, genetically modified crops, food imports, and commodity exports are developed in nine separate chapters. The chapters treat specific crops or livestock types from the point of view of both production and consumption, highlighting the changes that have taken place in both farming strategies and food preferences over the years.
