Wind Micro-Power Generation
Intended Use
Wind based micro generation - Residential/Commercial/Industrial
Common Applications
- Power generation
- Back-up power supply
- Off-grid power
Benefits
- Prevent being susceptible to performance issues with the power grid (black-outs, brown-outs)
- Reduce carbon footprint
- Generate power almost anywhere without prohibitive connection costs
- Generate income in areas with feed-in tariffs
Technology Summary
Wind Turbines convert wind speed into direct current electricity. Much like Photovoltaics this DC power can then be either stored in batteries for back up power or converted into AC for immediate use or to feed back in to the electrical grid where possible. Some site considerations are yearly average wind speed for the region, tested wind-speed for the site, possible high wind speed and obstructions which may cause wind turbulence
