Wind Basics
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into electricity using wind turbines. Plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, and clean, wind power reduces greenhouse gas emissions when it displaces fossil fuel-derived electricity. Typically, on-grid wind turbines are installed at homes or businesses to generate power; at times where there is insufficient wind, these locations can tap into the grid of the local utility company. Surplus electricity is sent back into the grid and the homeowner or business owner is compensated. Rural or remote areas are commonly off-grid.
Wind Turbine Applications
- Replaces noisy and polluting fossil fuel back-up generators
- Augments solar and other renewable energy installations, increasing productivity, reliability and cost effectiveness
- Grid-tie applications using UL1741 approved inverters to reduce energy costs
- Generate dedicated power for housing, community and health centers not connected to the grid
- Generate dedicated power for signage lighting
- Suitable as an educational tool, demonstrating renewable energy generation
- Water pumping systems
- Continuous and reliable power for repeater stations, suitable for telecoms and miliary applications
- Small wind farm installations
- Adaptable to meeting all other specific electrical needs
