Small wind turbines utilize wind energy to produce power with
rated capacities of 100 kilowatts and less. With this increasingly
popular technology, individual businesses, farms, and homes can
generate their own electricity, potentially cutting their energy
bills drastically, while generating power in an environmentally
sound manner. The challenges facing the engineers who are tasked
with planning and developing these small wind systems are
multifaceted, from choosing the best site and accurately estimating
likely power output, to obtaining proper permitting and
troubleshooting operational inefficiencies. Optimization of project
development for small wind applications is a necessity. "Small
Wind" "Planning and Building Successful Installations" provides a
cohesive guide to achieving successful small wind installations
from an informed expert. It is a comprehensive information resource
from one of the world s most experienced small wind professionals,
covering all the key issues for small wind system development, from
site and machine selection to international standards
compliance.
Establishes technical guidelines for the growing number of
engineers called upon to plan small wind projects Identifies and
explains the critical issues for small wind installations,
including siting, turbine choice, applications and permitting,
economics, load management, and grid integration Examples from real
projects demonstrate key considerations for success, complete with
template spreadsheets and measurements needed to support project
planning efforts Includes reports on the most commonly used
turbines and designs and synthesizes and clarifies relevant wind
industry documentation, saving readers endless hours of
research
