Technical FAQs 4

How does a small wind energy system work?

The key feature of a small wind energy system is the wind turbine. The turbine uses the energy of motion (ki-netic energy) from the wind to turn a shaft, thus making mechanical energy. This shaft is attached to a generator. The resulting spin within the genera-tor makes electricity. A wind turbine thus operates the opposite way of a fan.

What is a small wind turbine?

Sometimes categorized as small wind turbines (SWTs) or distributed wind, it represents an adaptable and flexible option for generating renewable electricity by converting wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from rotor blades. There isn’t a universally defined energy-generation capacity for small wind across all countries.

Are small wind energy systems a good idea?

Source: Adapted from NREL. Agricultural and rural communities have had a lot of success with small wind due to the relatively small physical footprint of the turbine technology. Small wind energy systems have often proved to be an efficient use of space for the amount of electricity it can generate.

What are the different types of small wind turbines?

Types of Small Wind Turbines There are two main types of small wind turbines: horizontal-axis and vertical-axis. Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT). These are the most common type of small wind turbine. They have blades that rotate around a horizontal axis.
