If your home uses 10,000 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity each year, a small turbine of rating between five and fifteen kilowatts should be sufficient for your needs.
With an annual average growth of 32% between 1998 and 2000 wind power has become the fastest growing energy source in the world.
As the technology to mass produce cheap electrical power from the wind advances, wind power is expected to play a much larger role in energy production.
Wind power is one of the world's most widely distributed energy resources.
Unfortunately, some people still believe that all wind energy generators are noisy and kill birds.
In most residential situations, a wind turbine is used as a supplemental source of power in combination with local, on-the-grid, utility power.
Wind power is way cheaper when compared to other traditional sources of power. Hence, wind power kits are growing more and more popular as greater numbers of people are starting to prefer wind energy over other energy sources.
Many government initiatives have been designed to facilitate construction of large scale wind power facilities, commonly known as wind farms.
Solar radiations emit a type of energy, which result in creation of wind.
The unique problem of people not desiring to look up at or listen to wind power turbines all day every day has become a bit of an issue. Where the issue is likely to be decided is in more urban areas where the use of wind turbines is just commencing to creep in.
Wind power generation may be on a very big scale, as with most commercial projects, or it may be on a very small scale which is the case with home owner wind turbines. 11th October, 2009
