Author Information

Philip Clausen is currently the acting head of the School of Engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia. His research expertise includes small wind turbine dynamics and fatigue testing, and issues related to small wind turbine blades. Jonathan Whale is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering and Energy at Murdoch University, Australia. Previously, he worked for the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Renewable Energy on commercialisation of wind turbines. He has been a member of International Energy Agency Task groups on small and distributed wind turbines and has contributed to international design standards for wind turbines. His research focuses on the impact of inflow turbulence on the performance of wind turbines. David Wood is the Schulich Chair in Renewable Energy at the University of Calgary, Canada. His research activities include renewable energy, primarily wind turbine aerodynamics, and renewable energy integration. He is the author of a book on small wind turbines and has co-authored numerous journal papers and book chapters on various aspects of their analysis, design, and manufacture. He is a Director of the Wind Energy Institute of Canada.
