520 3  In today's world, clean and robust energy sources are 
       being sought to provide power to residences, commercial 
       operations, and manufacturing enterprises. Among the most 
       appealing energy sources is wind power-- with its high 
       reliability and low environmental impact. Wind power's 
       rapid penetration into markets throughout the world has 
       taken many forms. In some cases, wind power is produced in
       large industrial wind farms by large horizontal-axis wind 
       turbines (HAWTs) that supply power directly to the grid. 
       In other cases, wind power is produced more locally, at or
       near the site of power usage. In these cases, the wind is 
       typically generated by smaller wind turbines that are in 
       single-unit installations or in clusters of units. 
       Regardless of the manifestation of the wind turbine 
       systems, much thought must be given to the selection of 
       the turbine, the economic viability of the installation, 
       and the integration of the system to the connecting grid. 
       It is the intention of this text to discuss these issues 
       in detail so that appropriate decisions can be made with 
       respect to wind power design, testing, installation, and 
       analysis. The specific focus is on small-scale wind 
       systems. While there is no universal definition of small-
       scale wind power, it generally refers to systems that 
       produce only a few kilowatts, can be installed in 
       constrained spaces, and have a small footprint.
