Yes I think that book I found would be good for you. Wikipedia is also a great resource.

Wind electrical generation is essentially just a turbine, so maybe do some research on turbine theory - steam turbines and boilers. Windmills are some of the oldest energy technologies we have as they have been used for grain Mills and water pumps long before electricity was discovered. The same can be said about hydro power. Geothermal is another fun technology to read about, alot if interested history about it development in italy and the science involved around geology.
All three of these renewable resources have something in common when it comes to making electricity: a turbine and a generator - the same way a coal, gas, or nuclear power system operates. Try to watch some videos on turbines and generators.
The only different one is solar power, where the heat collected by solar PV panels produces a DC electrical current and is converted to AC power using an inverter. However there is also a solar-thermal power plant design that uses the standard turbine/generator theory.
There are also technologies for passive hot water heating involving solar and geothermal, this is an interesting thing to research.
If you are ever have any questions about anything feel free to PM me, I love to talk about this stuff. My career is more so focused on power plants and larger generation electrical grid systems, but much of my schooling had to do with residential homes and I find this is what most regular people are most interested in.
