Wind Energy Generation begins when moving air transfers kinetic energy to the turbine rotor, causing it to rotate and drive the electrical generation system. The amount of electricity produced depends on factors including wind speed, rotor size, turbine design, generator characteristics, and site conditions. A Small Wind Turbine can be used for applications such as residential, agricultural, remote, and decentralized energy generation where suitable wind resources are available. Proper site assessment helps determine whether the available wind can support useful and consistent generation.
A power curve is one of the most useful technical tools for understanding how a Small Wind Turbine responds to changing wind speeds. It shows the relationship between wind velocity and the electrical power produced by the turbine, helping users…
