The following are the tables found in Wind Energy for the Rest of Us. Each entry includes the original Quattro Pro file, an Excel file, and an image file. Note that I work in Quattro Pro. The conversion to Excel isn't perfect, all formatting is lost, and there are functions unique to Quattro Pro that are not converted to Excel.
There are 118 tables in Wind Energy for the Rest of Us and the nomenclature used below may be slightly different than in the final book. In some cases, these are the raw tables with my notes and calculations. Some tables in the book are taken from individual tabs in a single spreadsheet. Thus, there are several references to a single spreadsheet in the list below. This isn't a mistake. This is intentional.
