This should be compared to Thomas Ackermann's "Wind Power in Power Systems."

If I purchased only one, it would be Ackermann, which I think is generally more comprehensive (and bigger). That said, I would need to supplement it with a lot of specific engineering data if I wanted to do any particular analysis.

Heier gets much more into lower level engineering details. Ackermann, looks more at a general systems and regulatory environment perspective.

Both books are very good and generally easy to read, providing good overviews of "current" practise.

Excellent book fro wind turbines.
Everything is covered from wind to power grid(turbines, generators, methods for measuring of wind speed, problems,economy....)

The book is great. You can find the basic theory and description of the control systems for wind turbines applications. I just wait to have the second edition in my hands.
