Wind Turbines- In the UK we have a large wind resource of 40% of Europe's total wind energy, yet it remains largely untapped, currently meeting only 0.5 per cent of our electricity requirements. Power from the wind is proportional to the cube of the wind speed therefore relatively minor variations in wind speed can result in large changes in potential output.
Power from the wind is proportional to the cube of the wind speed therefore relatively minor variations in wind speed can result in large changes in potential output.
As a rough guide, a good wind site will produce an average output of 30 per cent of the rated capacity of the turbine.
Individual wind turbines my vary in size and power output up to 2-3 Megawatts.
Off Grid – where the output is stored in batteries. Off grid systems normally store and supply electricity at 12 volts.
Household systems are typically sized up to 6kW but there are larger turbines of up to 50kW available for larger community scale projects.
Turbines are rated to a certain capacity, however this output is only achieved for the time that wind speed is at its optimum level.
