Sommario/riassunto

In a timely book with a powerful and persuasive message, Dr. Harold  G. Koenig addresses federal, state, and local government policy leaders,  urging them to more fully integrate religious organizations into the  formal disaster response system, and he then provides recommendations on  how this can effectively be done. Koenig also advocates faith  communities and organizations to learn more about the role they can play  in responding to disasters and terrorism.The chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina made extraordinarily clear the gaps in the United States' disaster polici

Sommario/riassunto

With increasing concern over climate change and the security of energy supplies, wind power is emerging as an important source of electrical energy throughout the world. Modern wind turbines use advanced power electronics to provide efficient generator control and to ensure compatible operation with the power system. Wind Energy Generation describes the fundamental principles and modelling of the electrical generator and power electronic systems used in large wind turbines. It also discusses how they interact with the power system and the influence of wind turbines on power system ope
