About the Author

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Gasch is one of the leading researchers and pioneers in wind energy conversion. He was born 1936 in Darmstadt, Germany. He is Professor emeritus at Technical University Berlin were was heading the Structural Dynamics’ group at the department of aerospace engineering.

His interest in Wind Energy started in the 80ies when he recognized the limits of natural resources as well as the challenges in nuclear power plants.

and the first edition of his German textbook “Windkraftanlagen”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jochen Twele started as a scientists at the  Department of Aerospace Engineering at Technical University Berlin. Since 2004 he is holding the chair for Regenerative Energies  at University of Applied Science Berlin.

Gasch and Twele are authors of the German “Windkraftanlagen”. The first edition appeared in 1991 and became immediately a bestseller. Now, the 2nd English translation “Wind Power Plants“ corresponding tot he 7th German edition is published at Springer.
