In the United States, residential wind turbines with outputs of 2–10& kW, typically cost between $12,000 and $55,000 installed ($6 per watt), although there are incentives and rebates available in 19 states that can reduce the purchase price for homeowners by up to 50 percent, to ($3 per watt). The US manufacturer “Southwest Windpower,” estimates [...]

Wind Energy

United States Small wind turbines added a total of 17.3 MW of generating capacity throughout the United States in 2008, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). That growth equaled a 78% increase in the domestic market for small wind turbines, which are defined as wind turbines with capacities of 100& kW or less. [...]

By: varalakshmiA wind turbine generator is the device responsible for converting raw wind power into electricity. This takes place when the rotational movement generated by the blades enters the generator through the shaft. There, the rotation helps to create an electromagnetic field that produces electrical power at a maximum of hundreds of volts. The electricity [...]

There are two types of small wind turbines available in the market – vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). Vertical wind turbines are identified by blades mounted on vertical shafts while horizontal wind turbines by propeller-like blades. Depending on the availability of the wind, both types can be installed on towers or poles or even on your rooftop.

All power technologies have variations in design and capability, and wind power is no exception. There has been a lot of discussion amongst home built wind power fans concerning the relative merits of the off the shelf small wind turbine and conventional home-built turbines. In this article attempt to address some of these concerns, with an investigation, and supported by a some simple mathematics.
