NREL National Wind Technology Center: Working with Industry; Facilities Tour; For Consumers; NTWC Library; Applied Research; Turbine Research; Cooperative Research and Testing. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power that turns a generator that produces electricity to power homes, schools, businesses, and communities. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the world's winds could supply more than 10 times the current total world energy demand. With today's wind turbine technology, wind power could supply 20% of the United States' electricity. There are two ways you can power your home or business with wind: You may be able to purchase wind energy in the form of green power from your local utility, or you may be able to install a small grid-connected wind electric system to provide part of your electricity needs. A wind turbine rated from 5 to 15 kilowatts (kW) could lower your utility bill by 50% to 90%. Wind energy is a free, inexhaustible renewable resource. Wind energy is a source of clean, non-polluting electricity. A single utility scale (750 kW) wind turbine can prevent the emission of 5000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. It would take 500 acres of forest to absorb that much CO2.

Wind Energy Basics, Second Edition: A Guide to Home- and Community-Scale Wind-Energy Systems

Wind Energy Basics, Second Edition: A Guide to Home- and Community-Scale Wind-Energy Systems Review

Addition Porugaipu, is a leading authority in the wind, he is a great teacher. Basics of wind energy in this 2009 edition covers two current models of wind turbines on many consumer and commercial markets since. This book is an excellent introduction to the energy are also interested in wind power wind turbine with both potential buyers. Some mathematical relationships in high school algebra or basic anything, it is reduced to a minimum. This is great.Inexpensive way to learn about wind turbines. If this is a thorough analysis of the pole to the other and more interested in the design of more "wind energy" is an excellent choice.

Wind Energy Basics, Second Edition: A Guide to Home- and Community-Scale Wind-Energy Systems Overview

The availability of clean, renewable power is without question going to be the defining challenge and goal of the 21st century, and wind will lead the way.

Internationally acclaimed wind energy expert Paul Gipe is as soberly critical of past energy mistakes as he is convincingly optimistic about the future. The overwhelming challenge of transforming our world from one of fossil carbon to one of clean power seems daunting at best—and paralyzingly impractical at worst. Wind Energy Basics offers a solution.

Wind power can realistically not only replace the lion’s share of oil-, coal-, and naturalgas– fired electrical plants in the U.S., but also can add enough extra power capacity to allow for most of the cars in the nation to run on electricity. Gipe explains why such a startlingly straightforward solution is eminently doable and can be accomplished much sooner than previously thought—and will have the capacity to resuscitate small and regional economies.

Wind Energy Basics offers a how-to for home-based wind applications, with advice on which wind turbines to choose and which to avoid. He guides wind-energy installers through considerations such as renewable investment strategies and gives cautionary tales of wind applications gone wrong. And for the activist, he suggests methods of prodding federal, state, and provincial governments to promote energy independence.
