Why
Small Wind?
Have
you ever thought about the possibility of generating
all or part of the electricity needs for your home,
community or business? Small scale turbines are an ideal
way of generating clean, renewable energy which will
reduce and potentially eliminate your electricity bills.
The use of renewable energy has both economic and environmental
benefits, in this age of rising fuel costs and climate
change.
It is widely accepted that climate change is one of
the main challenges facing mankind in the 21st century
and that the main cause of climate change is down to
human actions, particularly that of burning fossil fuels
and the green house gasses they emit.
In order to tackle this, the Government has set a target
of a 60% reduction in C0² emissions by 2050, and
is encouraging the use of clean and emission-free renewable
energy sources such as wind power.
Available
Technologies
Wind
turbine technology is a well-established and understood
method of producing electricity and due to its flexibility,
it can be utilised practically anywhere.
There are two basic systems available for using wind
turbines to generate electricity, stand-alone or grid
connected.
Depending upon the configuration of your domestic hot
water system it may be feasible in times of low electricity
consumption to transfer the energy to the domestic hot
water system. The design and size of turbine to suit
your site and electricity requirements is very dependent
on your location and individual circumstances.
